I agree, but the Cayenne Turbo is the same look as the 'S'.. Only the ML63 is an obvious departure from it's less-powered siblings (and IMO, that look is overdone).

I, like many others have already stated, hope that is it more aggressive looking to make it stand out from the rest.

I love the departure look of the ML63 that makes it different and noticeable enough that when most see it they know it is not "regular"

no side sills?

From what I have heard; there will be lot of body colored parts as compared to regular X5, e.g. Wheel arches, side skirts, etc. we will see more body color and less of plastic/ black parts. i will reserve my opinion till the final pics of the beast with massive torque are released.

That will be awesome

Time will tell. Only a couple more months.

I also agree that it doesn't look as aggressive as it should. Is the front fender different other than the gills they are covering up?

Also, I wonder what they are going to do with the rear sides. The 3.0/4.8 fender flares already look nice and aggressive and I'm curious to see if they can improve on that.

I just hope they find a way to make it, AT LEAST as aggressive looking as the E53 4.8is..

That was a mean looking truck:
