I guess I've never understood the appeal of a vehicle like that. Having a 4 wheel drive SUV seems logical if you want a vehicle that can get around in bad weather. But when you take that vehicle and then put tires on it like you would find on a Dodge Viper, you kill that ability. So then why not just get a sports sedan which will handle better and get better gas mileage?

There is a board member who bough one and has done extensive posting on the vehicle. Search and check out what he has to say .....

Thanks for the heads up on the search...never ocurred to me to do a search here for this and I never expected to find so much discussion about ml 63 on this board from over the past year. All good stuff, no matter which way the discussions or opinions go, X5 vs. ML63.

I have driven one, its a MONSTER.
I would also not compare it to a 4.8is.

Beast, probably because it would destroy the 4.8.

The ML63 weighs more than 6,000 lbs?

the vehicle itself weighs about 5000 lbs...with passengers and payload ( i think it's the gvwr) is over 6000 lbs.

Did you read the last paragraph where it mentions pricing?

$70K??? Undercutting the Current E70 4.8?
