The V12 was mentioned once again recently? 
The only transmission on the Mercedes MLC is expected to be the new 9G-Tronic nine-speed auto. And as this can cope with up to 1,000Nm of torque, it will also be used on an MLC 63 AMG, powered by the firm’s 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8. Topping the range could be a 6.0-litre V12 MLC 65 AMG.

Autospies, 4WheelsNews have a sketch. Might be the W166?
Mercedes-Benz MLC officially confirmed
Although it was just a rumor it appears that Mercedes-Benz will indeed take on the BMW X6.
As expected, the car will be based on the Mercedes-Benz M-Class and the new car will use the same running gear found on its brother. An AMG version http://www.autospies.com/news/Mercedes-Benz-MLC-officially-confirmed-78336/

An update.
Mercedes-Benz Rival to The BMW X6 to be Called MLC
As many of you know, Mercedes-Benz has been officially preparing a rival to the four-door-coupe-SUV from BMW for about two years now.
Most non-design details about the model have also been known for some time as well, including the fact that it will share most of its underpinnings with the current W166 M-Class and the X166 GL-Class.
Like the aforementioned SUVs, the new fullsize luxury crossover will be built in the Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
What hasn't been known but only mildly-speculated until now has been the model's name, with most media outlets reporting it to be either MLC or MLS.
According to MB Passion, who are usually right about most of their insider scoops, the new crossover will be called MLC, with some of the design details of its swooping overall look to also be shared with its bigger brother, the GL.
This way, earlier reports about the GL also receiving a “four-door-coupe-SUV” version of its own were obviously wrong.
Oddly, the internal designation of the model is apparently C253, so even though its platform is shared with the other two SUVs, Mercedes-Benz treats it as a very different model.

Why haven't spies caught the MLC yet if its arrival is supposed to be so imminent? Perhaps a Concept Coupé precedes it?

As long as Mercedes doesn't drop it's quality again like it did back in 2000, and it doesn't start milking what AMG stands for, I'm fine with the expansion. Mercedes interior is by far the best in class right now, and the recent 2014 Dependability report shows off how much they've improved. Hoping to switch my family from BMW to Mercedes, starting with my sisters 328i convertible. She'd love a C Class 'Vert!

I had a dream.
The Vision M-Class Coupe Concept: a synthesis of passion and practicality
Never before have two such entirely different ideas – the stylistic appeal and strong emotive charisma of a coupé and the comfort and practicality of a utility – been so elegantly blended together to form a single automotive entity.
All of which makes the Vision MLC a truly shining coupé specimen. A valuable one-off that arouses pure desire and is designed to help create an all-new and highly attractive market segment. This latest Mercedes concept reflects the aspirations of modern people who lead active lives and are passionate about new trends. People who attach great importance to individuality, stylish aesthetics and sheer excitement when it comes to both their cars and life in general.
In this sense the Vision M-Class Coupe is a car for the connoisseur - for the passionate motorists who seeks and appreciates those really special things in life.
Passion and practicality are equally high on the list of priorities for this most discerning of customer groups, since a love of elegant forms and the finest of materials always goes hand in hand with a desire for the very latest in no-holds-barred technology. The Vision MLC provides the very best of both worlds by displaying distinctive aesthetics in every detail and showcasing leading-edge technology. All backed by the high quality associated with Mercedes-Benz. Not to mention the renowned reliability which, alongside many other virtues, underpins the brand's impeccable reputation.
The dream appears to be based on this press release: http://www.autospies.com/news/Official-launch-documents-Mercedes-Benz-CLS-vision-Part-one-997/
concatenated with some MRA architecture modules borrowed from the recent S-Class Coupe, see above?
