A Good Time to Love Fast Wagons? (Automotive)

A post over at worldcarfans.com focuses on upcoming high performance wagons. Opposed to the previous generation of the M3, the E46, the new M3 will come in four variants: a coupe, convertible, sedan, and now apparently a touring model. To keep the competition hot and heavy Mercedes is bringing a touring version of the Mercedes C63 that should have somewhere between 420 and 450hp. The new Audi S4 avant is far away however, coming in 2010. However, we should get an RS4 avant as well around then if we're lucky.

An AMG Mystery (Automotive)

On April 4th, at the New York Auto show, Mercedes AMG will be unveiling a new vehicle. There is some debate in regards to what it will actually be. Quoted from the worldcarfans blog: "In the past Mercedes has revealed AMG models at NY such as the CL 65 (W215) and SL 65 in 2004 and E 63 in 2006. But which one could it be? Perhaps new generation W216 CL 65, CLS 65 or even an E 65?"

Based solely on the single door handle and the contours I believe it must be a coupe. More specifically I think it is actually the new CLK63 black. The rims look dtm style, and the carbon fiber shown in the other pictures which I have not included here are usually on the black models. (A higher performance level than regular AMG) I have made the visual comparison with the CL600 below. While there are some similarities, I believe the CL600 looks longer than the masked vehicle, especially in the rear. I have had a lot of experience with the current CLK, and I am very familiar with it's side profile. Because of this and the other reasons I mentioned above, I will put my ass on the line and say CLK63 black. Come back on April 4th to learn how right or wrong I am. Feel free to make your guesses in the comment section.
