I think this is why Mercedes went with a 5.5L TT, they figured they didn't want to cut too much out of the old 6.2L because of sound.

it will be intersesting to see how the MPG compare to the E63 and CLS63 considering they have similar power but the Merc has a larger engine...
I thought I read that the CLS63 was 16/22 or something like that, which I figured would still have a gas guzzler tax.
