In addition to the juicy E-Class gossip we just brought you, Auto  
Motor und Sport has shed some light on a subject Mercedes-Benz owners  
are dying to know:  "What new AMG models can we expect to see in 2006?"

We get questions about this all the time, so if Auto Motor und Sport  
is accurate, this should answer all you power-hungry MB owners'  
questions.

According to the article, Mercedes is planning an onslaught of AMG  
models in 2006.  Here's the rundown:

1) The S 65 AMG, featuring a 612 horsepower V12
2) The CLK 63 AMG, featuring a 482 horsepower V8
3) The E 63 AMG, featuring a 515 horsepower V8
4) The CLS 63 AMG, featuring a 515 horsepower V8

The article also mentions some disappointing news for fans of the AMG- 
developed M156 engine. According to the story, due to high costs, the  
M156 is already approaching the end of its short lifespan.  Instead,  
Mercedes will probably opt to use their newly introduced V8 paired  
with a supercharger.

If your vehicle didn't make the list, remember - there's always  
2007.  My apologies to all you G 63 fans.
