Excellent. The best V6 engine in the world just got better. Good numbers for an amazingly versatile and ubiquitous engine. The best engine never to get a best engine award. Now with direct injection.

Re: Mercedes CLS350 CGI debuts in Geneva

Don't you just love reading a Mercedes-Benz press release on a new technology or new model? Just breathtaking for me at times.

I like the wheels on this CLS also, looks like the ones from the new S-Class.

The only thing I don't like here is that CGI badge, lose that. CDI, CGI, AMG, too many letters already reside on the other side of the trunklid, no need for letters to say anything about direct injection. People won't know what CGI means and the person driving the car will already know.

Look out this engine will be placed into the ML350, CLK350, E350, R350, SLK350, CLS350 (obviously), and S350 before the year is out.

We all know how Mercedes does this.

We now have the hp numbers for the next generation C350 with this latest press release also. A 292hp C350 sport tuned right will be right.

Funny we were all just talking about how slow MB and BMW were to adopt direct-injection for their petrol engines when we all know they know how to do it because they both sell a ton of diesels. This conversation was not more than 2 days ago, and poof! here it is for both BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Yeah they'll probably update it with the new 5.5L V8 from the S500... 388 hp should give it a nice model spread between the CLS350 and the CLS63.

Yes, yes, I know they will eventually update to CLS550 but why don't they do it now?
So now there are CLS350 (292hp), CLS500 (306hp) and CLS63 (510hp), right?
