15 Nov 2007 - SL facelift for MY2008 ? - SL55/65 Dropped !
Mercedes Benz is going to facelift the SL again before the replacememnt model. We beleive this will be for the 2008 Model Year, and internally the facelift is known as MOPF2.
The range will drop from the existing 4 models, SL350, SL500, SL55, SL65 down to 3 models as the SL55 and SL65 are dropped, and the SL63 based on the same V8 63 engine used across the rest of the range.
We can see why dropping the SL55/65 and simplifying the engine range makes sense - but we love the V8 5.5 supercharged SL55 - we we are rather sad.
15 Nov 2007 - New Mercedes 280CDI and 320CDI engines
It looks like Mercedes will make some changes to the 280 diesel and 320 diesel power trains - we don't know whether these are engine or gearbox changes, but the internal model numbers for those models in the W164 ML, X164 (GL), W204 new C class will be changing.
15 Nov 2007 - New Mercedes GLK model range details
Theres a new Mercedes GLK coming - it is based on the new C class (W204).
It looks like it will be available in 2 wheel drive, and 4 wheel drive, with 280/350 petrol and 320CDI engines.
It looks like there will be 5 models initially.
- GLK280 - petrol, 2 wheel drive
- GLK350 - petrol, 2 wheel drive
- GLK280 - petrol, 4 wheel drive
- GLK350 - petrol, 4 wheel drive
- GLK320 CDI - diesel, 4 wheel drive
15 Nov 2007 - Mercedes CL500 4-Matic on its way ??
We've heard that theres going to be a CL500 4Matic coming soon - unless Mercedes change their mind. The internal model number is 216.386
Thats all we know, maybee it will never make it to the market - it certainly won't make it to the UK as the other 4-Matic vehicles (except the ML/GL/R) never have done before.
