557 h.p What are you talking about !? This cars sounds amazing, it looks very stylish and agressive, i think in real life it looks better than in video

[MrPman851]

It's not as nice to my eyes as the old ML63, but it's not the worst looking ML AMG on the planet either. It might get better overtime.

Not impressed, seen a few on the road. they lack the aggressive but sexy style of the 06 thru 10 models.

The "all new" 2012 ML63 AMG rims look like the ones used in 2009?

[DarkHacker0101]

Previous model of ML63 AMG looks better than 2012.I still think that ML63 AMG 2011 is hundred times better than the new model.

[NottinghamForest22]

previous model ML looks a thousand times better.

Well, obviously there is 'point' in filming it to prove you actually own one.

Anyone can claim they own a ML63, but I bet most of them don't - that goes for you as well.

[MrMISTIKAL]

@Shqiptarivertet Well i think there is enough Ml63 videos on you tube and since i haven't done anything special to mine there is no point filming it.

@MrMISTIKAL

Then why don't upload any vids of your ML63? Do I smell bullshit, or are you a man of words?
