I saw an ML 63 (the AMG--maybe I read the #s wrong) going after a Porsche Cayanne (turbo) and vice versa yesterday, and had to wonder--what is the point? My wife agreed that the AMG ML looks like any other minivan. The vehicles are equally worthless as four wheel drives (except snow and desert driving maybe), but at least the Porsche is good looking. How much are the ML 63s?

Your car is an attractive sedan--the ML looks like an egg on wheels. Plus the guy driving it appeared to have some gender confusion issues which may have clouded my judgment.....(actually the Porsche driver did too).

I have driven the srt 8 and it was one of the fastest cars I have ever driven in a straight line--but not really fun to drive to me. Same with the clunky Corvettes and Vipers. If I get another go fast car it will likely be another porsche.

I'm trading up...

...cause I need to get to the kid's soccer games...DAMN FAST!

I guess my post may be a little insulting to ML owners here--sorry G They just don't look like "Mercedes" to me. But Ted is right--to each his own for sure!!

One positive thing I can say about that 63 was the HUGE disks all around it. They looked badass.

Huh...

I like the ML. Just wish they had brought over a diesel.

Most of us know this, but there maybe a few that don't...

The M-class is assembled in Alabama.
The engines and trannys come from Germany.
However, 65% of the vehicle content comes from the NAFTA region. (hmmm?i ncluding your local Chrysler plant?)

I thought Calif. and MA couldn't have the CDIs because of emissions? Could be wrong.

Just out of curiosity are the 600 and G yours or maybe your parents? That is a pretty impressive stable for a college student if they are yours!!

Cali will have the new diesels with the AdBlue Bluetecs.... ya know with the urea injection or w/e they use

Obviously you didn't look at the AMG specs. You cannot get Napa leather on the standard non-AMG models. Don't you get it? Jeez... people these days.

That sailed over my head Kuan

The POINT... is, the point in getting the AMG is for the Napa leather.

Do I have to explain everything? You are obviously not a soccer mom. Do I have to tell you the proper way to dangle your celphone too?

I get it now. I don't think the owner of this AMG is gonna have kids unless he and his partner adopt though.

You show me how to dangle, because at least three-four times a year, I throw a cellphone out of the window of my car in anger.
