After driving the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG and C 63 AMG Black Series this week, we saw the 2012 ML 63 AMG unveiled at Bernardus Lodge in Monterey.

A local Chinese restaurant's name has always been puzzling: A8 China. It doesn't roll right off the tongue or follow the convention of having "garden," "kitchen" or "panda" worked in somewhere.
