The distinction is that MB has a whole lot more money to spend on R&D, and, MB has been there and done that, and, most importantly, the MB dealer and inde repair channel(s) don’t categorically suck to the marrow, which is the case with Porsche dealers and repair shops.
If someone wants something that is more status than substance, go Porsche. If someone wants endless repairs, go Land Rover. In any event don’t buy the Porsche in the first couple of years unless you want to spend a lot of money for frustration.
All that aside, the Porsche is offering just more of the same, which is boring, hence the previous yawn.

I had a 2000 ML for my wife, but traded for the Volvo. It had too many minor problems.
I evaluated G-Class before buying the S-Class. I loved the build quality, but it did not give me enough on-road smoothness (via console control). I was not looking for the S-Class type of ride. Plus I drive on the highway alot and needed a better handling vehicle.
What I want is :
G500 off-road handling
S600 on-road handling
S600 interior
Then I will buy the G and kept forever and thats the truth!
People always wonder how my S-Class can out handling there vehicle. It the driver, not the car!
