i was looking at both of em too. but i ended up get a ML350 E10 EDITION OVER CAYENNE.simply bcuz room in the car(6'3) and interior.

 

Get the only real luxury SUV....Range Rover HSE.

 

And loose more money on a SUV than any on the market

 

My choice would be a X5 3.0si and if you must choose between ML and Cayenne take the cayenne.

 

Thinking of larger space why don't you look at the Audi Q7 ?

 

Q7 looks like a mini van for me. but great handeling !

 

The Q7 looks terrific with the sportsline bodykit but I agree its a German Yukon XL/Suburban

 

If you're buying an SUV purely based on resale value, then you're out of luck my friend. Do I even care about depreciation when I'm driving up to the mountains with my babies inside while the storm outside strands your car?
