Agree on both fronts.
But I think MB will underprice the 550i/S6.. Reason being is I think this is going to be the only V6 offering in NA. I think the NA lineup will be this V6 as tuned, the two turbo 4s (Gas & Diesel) then the plug in hybrid. Then most likely a E63 and or just solely the E63s.
If you can have two twin turbo v8s both with 450hp vs. a 400HP six( I am a whore and would buy the V8s).. they would be wise to undercut the competition then have the E63 just above then the E63s higher.
