Also the engine size number scheme is dunzo! The new "63" cars are mostly 5.5L twin turbo v8s, but they didnt want to downsize the number on the car because they figured people didnt want to buy a "lesser" car even if the new engine was more powerful (a LOT more) and more economic to boot!
Interesting, I stand corrected. Didn't realize they had the same shapes in different Merc's, but upped their top engine offered in the AMG series in newer years. I still like the 55's better due to easier modding/hp adding.
