From 4.8is to E70 or ML63

Guys, i know we have discussed this million gzillion times here, but here is my concern.

I'am all about performance!!!!!!

Currently own 4.8is, and i was thinking to upgrade to the e70, but here is how i look at it.

-e70 is not fast enough, my 4.8is killed an e70 that my friend exported from U.S. recently.

-porsche cayenne turbo s is too expansive for me, i just dont have enough for that.

-I was looking at ML63 prices and it's same as fully loaded 4.8 e70, i would rather have ML63 which does 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds, then have an e70 that's just not fast enough for me, besided, when i drove an ML63 i was amazed how representable it was and how quick it was, i have to admit brakes and handling of my 4.8is might be superior, but i think it it better then e70 as well.

Guys i would never decide such think without your input, there are so much more people here, that know way more then me about this.

I just presented my view here, as to how i look at this situation.

Cayenne is too expansive, e70 is just not fast enough off the line or in general, and it costs same as ML63.

Please i need your input.

I was thinking that, friend of mine has recently upgraded his cayenne turbo, to cayenne turbo s, and he is selling his cayenne turbo for 75k Euros, thats way too expensive.

I could go for cayenne turbo and put on GTS body kit, but even in U.S. they are expensive, i guess i can get ML63 for about 57 to 60k

06's cost that much, i know that, but they are old style and prefacelift cayennes are pretty ugly, i don't like the way they look.

08 is nice from the back to front, plus they have aerokit pretty much all of them.

As to ML63 07-08 thy are also before the restyling but 09 version of ML i don't like it, i prefair older version, because AMG bumpers stand out and you can tell they AMG, but new AMG bumpers are pretty bad in my opinion.

Will e70m bit the ML63 time?
I'am just not sure, this is pretty tough.
Only reason i'am hesitant of pulling the trigger on ML is because it does not have panoramic roof, and also because the interior roof is not black color, it is light, and it gets dirty, i dont like that, other then that, i think ML is amazing.

What will e70m verison be like?
