Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG is a soccer mom thrill - latimes.com: "Soccer moms in the country's more exclusive neighborhoods will rejoice at the 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, making its world debut at the L.A. Auto Show this week. Upgraded with the usual improvements to justify the R&D money, the third generation of the German manufacturer's pioneering high-performance SUV ups the fuel economy, drops some weight and significantly improves horsepower and torque -- emboldening parents of means to floor it out of schools' valet drop-offs with less guilt.

A sports car in SUV clothing, the ML63 AMG is anabolic in its athleticism. It's outfitted with a smaller engine than the 6.3-liter outgoing model, but it makes more power. Stock, the 5.5-liter V-8 biturbo cranks 518 horses and 516 pound-feet of torque -- or 550 horses and 560 pound-feet with an optional AMG performance package. Its estimated fuel economy rating is a combined 16 mpg in the base model."
