It's with the new biturbo 3.0L diesel with 306 hp, believe they will call it the 740d. No word yet with North America get it.

I'm not sure I can get on board with the new nose. When you see it in person it just looks like the car wants to inhale you (which is not nearly bad-*** as looking like it will eat you)

more like flaring nostrils snarling at you

those chrome accents sealed the deal for me

Don't know, after I've seen the new one in person, I actually think the previous generation(post-facelift version) looks better overall with the exception of the trunk lid ...

I love the fact that they are finally producing the M7. Its been way overdue. Mercedes has owned the super sedan segment for a long time. I think they still will, but cool to see some variety. For large sedans from Germany I will always prefer the S class.
