For some reason, most of the AMG cars I saw on the freeway were usually crawling along the slow lane.

this is getting ridiculous

nobody needs this type of power for everyday driving.. will only cause accidents

I agree. I'd rather have my design and research money spent on reliability and quality assurance instead of that kind of power. Faster isn't always better......ask any woman

The 65 AMG hasn't even come out yet and they've already made a 69? Wow.... where's BMW in all of this? Their 760Li is all of a sudden seeming meager on the hp. I also wonder what Audi has in store for the new S8... they are being awfully quiet about it. I'm guessing an RS6 motor, but considering what Mercedes has been doing, and what Lexus is planning with that LS500GT.... I think they need to up their ante.
