I had the ML55 and I honestly don't think MB will ever compete with the TT. The X5 is a closer competitor in my opinion.

But this is a nice improvement over the last one. Actually looks similar to the Cadillac styling.

They have a done a much better job with this design then the original. The original was a bulky POS IMO. Hopefully, this one will have better underpinnings. But as stated above, I still do not think it will compete with the Cayenne.

Interior looks good but the styling is always gay! sorry I never like the ML

Cayenne > X5 > ML

It blows the Turbo Cayenne away for the first second plus since that's how long it takes the Cayenne to quit hesitating.

the old M was one of the biggest hunks of sh#t on the road imo, this one seems an improvement but still can't believe someone would choose this over a Cayenne.

though I love the Cayenne so much and own one....I'm afraid MB might beat the CTT if it has an ML 65 with v12 biturbo....i dunno buit is that possible??

That styling is actually more like the chrystler pacifica than anything else. Not bad. If you like the Pacifica. I wonder if it will be grossly underpowered like the Pacifica. Definitely soccer mom.
