First Drive: 2013 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG

"Who buys these things?" This question keeps rattling around the press launch of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz ML63, AMG's new rocket-powered soccer-mom sled. No rational person can make an argument for buying a 525-hp SUV. The fact that AMG offers a performance package that bumps the power up to 557 hp makes me believe there aren't a lot of rational people responsible for building them, either. Have we mentioned we love AMG?

The ML was refreshed for 2012 and put in an extremely strong showing at Motor Trend's SUV of the Year event. Judges loved the smooth ride and quiet, composed cruising of both the diesel and gas versions of the midsize SUV. The AMG-tuned version has many of the same qualities, with the performance muscle of a sports sedan. Ola Kallenius, chairman of the Management Board of AMG, listed the qualities that make up an AMG product: performance, classiness, efficiency. "AMG products provide the highest performance while never being annoying in fulfilling the utility you expect of any Mercedes product," he says.

At cruising speeds, the mellow burble of the 5.5-liter V-8 is the only thing that hints at this SUV's performance potential. Despite the two sound-killing turbos, AMG has managed to create a modern musclecar soundtrack that turns heads and molds grins on the faces of the most hardened L.A. commuters. The AMG Speedshift 7G-Tronic transmission has tall gearing and is always chasing the highest gear possible. It helps the new model achieve 28% greater efficiency over the past ML AMG, but it seems tragic that such a great engine will live most of its life below 2500 rpm. Cruising down PCH in Malibu, the high-tech lump trundles along at 1500 rpm without complaint. Prodding the throttle to shoot through openings in traffic results in a whistling warble from the turbo and a wave of torque as boost builds to 516 lb-ft. Performance Package-equipped cars twist out 561 lb-ft as low as 2000 rpm, making the 5200-pound SUV feel like point-and-shoot artillery.

The winding canyon roads above Malibu give insight directly into the soul of the beast. Console-mounted buttons summon more sporting personalities from the suspension and transmission. While Comfort mode is preferable around town, Sport and Sport+ modes tighten things up and allow for faster reactions. To accomplish this complete manipulation of the ML63's dynamics, AMG uses active damping control, active anti-roll bars, and airbags instead of coil springs. Sport mode is the best compromise for anything but the smoothest of roads. Directional changes happen fast and predictably on undulating switchbacks. The SUV never achieves the light, tossable feeling of a sports car, but rather beats physics into submission with big contact patches and intelligent suspension. In tight quarters, physics battles back, throwing hairpins and big braking areas at the heavyweight powerhouse. Even the best engineers haven't mastered anti-mass technology, and all those pounds want to obey Newton's First Law of Motion.

When things start to get a little too hot, the vehicle understeers and bleeds off speed with squealing front tires grinding outside of the intended line. Suddenly all 2-and-half tons of high-riding SUV strong-arm the electronics and bring things back to reality. Even with a 40/60 front/rear power split, the stability control won't allow you to drive the car with the throttle. Once things start to get out of shape, the electronics call a timeout and reel things back in. It is amazing just how hard you have to push to find those limits, and the idea of any rational person finding them is unlikely.

Steering feel is surprisingly good through the contoured and sueded wheel. The seats are more than up to the task of holding passengers in place, and the bolsters don't get in the way of ingress and egress. Although the seats have the height adjustment of a barber's chair, even in their lowest position the height of the vehicle still gives a parade-float view of the road. Interior quality took a major leap forward in the redesigned ML, and the AMG version takes it another step farther. Material quality is luxurious and attention to detail abounds in spots only contortionists would be able to see. Even the doorjambs look as though they spent time in the design department to match the clean, uncluttered aesthetic. For those seeking something even more exclusive, Mercedes Designo can create custom interiors with contrasting leathers, rare trim materials, and even exclusive paints.

Herr Kallenius boasts that the new ML 63 AMG is the most powerful SUV for sale today. In the same train of thought, he also says the AMG biturbo V-8 is among the cleanest engines for the power output. "AMG is a test lab for new technology that will trickle down into lower segments at Mercedes." So while a 557-hp SUV may seem like overkill, let's all remember it is paving the way to cleaner, more efficient versions of lower-spec Mercedes. That might be all the rationalization needed to buy one of these.

Rado becomes Official Timekeeper of the SportAccord World Mind Games

Rado, the famous watch brand and member of the Swatch Group, is harnessing its pioneering energy in the service of the human brain and its extraordinary capabilities, by becoming the official timekeeper of the SportAccord World Mind Games

Taking place in Beijing from 8 to 16 December 2011, under the auspices of SportAccord, the umbrella organisation of International Sports Federations. The first SportAccord World Mind Games will see the world’s elite players competing in five mind sports: chess, bridge, draughts, go and xiangqi, the game also known as Chinese chess.

Around 150 players will be taking part in these competitions, which require strategic awareness, intelligence and mental agility. Representing all the strength of the human brain, participants are genuine athletes, given the competitiveness, speed of reaction, physical fitness and self-discipline that practicing their art requires. Designed to eliminate any chance-related element, the format of the first SportAccord World Mind Games also seeks to capture the public’s fascination by providing quick play versions of the competitions and a platform inviting worldwide passionate players to take part in a virtual edition of the games.

 Playing to push the boundaries

 Mind games call for those qualities that constantly push the boundaries and innovate, the essence of the Rado philosophy. Having had a presence in China since 1979, and thus becoming the first European brand and the first watch company to invest in the country’s media, Rado is particularly proud to be contributing to the success of this unique event. The Swiss company has always had a special connection with games and the mind, as demonstrated by its partnership with the competition “Rado School Quiz”, one of the most popular televised game shows in China in the early 80s. Moreover, Rado is pleased to be returning to Beijing as the official timekeeper for the SportAccord World Mind Games 2011, just over 20 years after it officiated for the XIth Asian Games held in the Chinese capital in 1990.  Unlimited Spirit. RADO.

Bose® Bluetooth® headset Series 2

• Exclusive Bose technologies let you hear calls better, even as noise levels change
• Noise-rejecting microphone allows callers to hear more of your voice—in windy and noisy environments too
• Soft, flexible StayHear® tip provides comfort and stability
• A2DP Bluetooth profile enables mobile media content, like music or podcasts, from your smartphone
• Simple, convenient controls make it easy to answer calls
• Choice of left- or right-ear version, whichever you prefer, for best possible fit

Keeping in touch when you're on the move can be challenging. The Bose Bluetooth headset Series 2 meets the demands of on-the-go communications, from crowded terminals to noisy traffic. It's engineered to react automatically as noise levels change, allowing you to hear your end of the call better. Plus, an exclusive noise-rejecting microphone system helps your caller better hear you above both noise and wind. The Bose Bluetooth headset is compact, light and well-balanced, and now you can choose between right- or left-ear versions.

Better sound at both ends of your call

Bose advanced technology automatically senses noise around you and adjusts the headset volume accordingly. In a loud environment, the volume increases so you can hear your call. When things quiet down, the volume decreases. Either way, the listening level remains constant. All the while, Bose TriPort® acoustic structure ensures a natural voice quality, whatever the volume level.

The person on the far end of the call hears you better, too. The Bose Bluetoothheadset features an improved noise-rejecting microphone system that differentiates between your voice and background noise—even in windy environments. It transmits more of you (and less noise) to the listener.

With technologies that accentuate voices over noise, the Bose Bluetooth headset allows for more natural-sounding conversations with fewer interruptions—at both ends of the line.

Designed for best possible fit

The side-specific design of the Bose Bluetooth headset Series 2 allows you to get the fit that's right for you. The curved design fits facial features, and the button placement on top and bottom allows the use of a natural pinching motion that won't dislodge the headset from your ear. And the soft StayHear silicone tip keeps the headset comfortably and securely in place. It distributes contact over a greater area inside the ear, avoiding known pressure points. The headset stays in your ear without being too tight—and without an ear hook. Watch video »

Easy to use

The Bose Bluetooth headset has separate buttons for power, volume and call send/end, all conveniently located on the top and bottom edges of the headset. Each action, from taking and ending calls to inserting or removing the headset, can be accomplished easily with one hand—important while you're driving or on the go.Watch video »

A2DP audio streaming

When you're not on a call, you can enjoy mobile media content through A2DP. TheBluetooth profile for streaming audio content lets you listen to turn-by-turn directions plus stored music, podcasts and other media on your smartphone.
