Some new cars are arriving from Mercedes Benz, and subsidiary AMG:

Mercedes Benz:

SL350: A six cylinder 3.5 litre SL class roadster. Not a bad idea, for those who can not afford a fully priced SL500.

E320 CDI: The new E-Class, but with a 3.2 litre Turbo-diesel engine. This would be quite an excellent drive, since MB CDI engines are torque monsters.

E55 AMG: This is the V8 kompressor engined version of the E-Class, with 476hp.

C30 AMG: The first diesel powered AMG model. This is no doubt aimed at the Alpina D10 Biturbo saloon and estate (it's powered by a 180kW, 500Nm 3.0 litre inline six turbo-diesel).

Updated CL-Class: The big, good looking CL Coupés get an update. CL500 remains as is, CLK55 AMG gets the kompressor V8, and the CL600 gets a detuned version of the Maybach Typ 12 super-engine.

Updated S-Class: S-Class updates are basically the same as for the CL series.
