Need some advice

Hey I need some advice. My sister is looking to move into a new car and we can't decide on what to switch to. Back in 2009 she switched from an 05' M3 to the 09' C63. Now it's time to switch again. The options are:
ML63
Cayenne Turbo
X6M

I wish they would have made the cls63 with full backseats...

If anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate it.

TIA

What exactly is she looking for in the new ride? From the options listed it looks like an SUV but u also mentioned a backseat. From the ones you listed I'd go with the ML63. I had one for awhile and was by far my favorite SUV I've ever had or been in. The X5M is pretty good too but the suspension is a little too harsh for my liking. For a big car with plenty room I've only heard great things about the new Audi S8 and the E63 is always a great choice.

wow, choices! and they're good have....

have you driven the mentioned vehicles yet?
I own 2 Mercs and 1 Porsche.......the service at Porsche (in my experience) has put Mercedes Benz to shame.......
as far as BMW: never been a fan.....but that is only me......

hope to hear some comments on the test drives maybe

Thanks for the input! We haven't driven any of the 13' models yet. I was just at Mercedes of Miami on Friday but they didn't have any ML63s on the lot. We test drove the 09 ml63 when she was deciding on that or the C63. She wanted the smaller car. The ml was amazing though.

My mom had an 05 cayenne turbo but it was pretty small inside so I was wondering if they made changes since then. We will probably go Tuesday to Porsche. Tomorrow we are going to BMW.
She really wants the amg V8tt but in her c63 lol. Too bad we still have to wait a year. The e63 and m5 are out because if she were to get a bigger car then a c63, it would be an suv. She has two kids so she needs the full 3 seats in the back (that's what I was referring to in my last post about the cls). The lease is up on the panamera soon so the cls will probably take it's place.

As for dealer service, Mercedes here are horrible in my opinion. BMW has always been good here and so has Porsche. BUT, in New Orleans the main reason we stay away from Porsche is because they are horrible there. I think the mercedes there is the best dealer I have ever been too. My parents stick with mercedes now lol

I will post more after the test drives this week!

when I decided to get my cls63, I only had the chance to test a 550....but I knew
what power the AMG would ensure me having........guess I'm biased too; having a pair already......

good luck
