To each his own. Some people like the ML and some like the X5. There's no right or wrong here, just differences of preferences and opinions.

The bottom line, this is an E70 forum. If I want to tell people how great the ML's are, I would go to the ML forum and brag about it and vice versa.

The OP wants to get people's opinion if he should get a 2009 E70 or a 2009 ML and most people will tell him to get an E70. I did. The few who told him to get an ML are "most likely" the one's who are unhappy with their E70. We have to admit it, there are unhappy E70 owners out there.

I posted this same question at the RR sport forum before I got my E70 and most RR enthusiasts told me how terrible the E70 and it looks like a wagon etc. The RR Sport is exceptional and "reliable".

If you'll ask me, the RR Sport is the best "looking" SUV in the market. This is just based on looks alone.

What do I think of the old and new ML? As FSETH would say, it looks like a "soccer-mom driving rollerskate". Then again, it's just my personal opinion.

I'm just thankful to be driving an E70 every day, no matter how expensive gas prices are!
