That is a good car but I think I would prefer a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S or even a Turbo instead of this.
I don't really love SUVs but the Cayenne is the one makes the difference...that's my opinion by the way

i'll take the Cayenne Turbo with 10k off msrp as well. however, sticker to sticker u're looking at $40,000 difference compare the ML63 to Cayenne Turbo S. big deal for SUV.

I just checked with my dealer today and he can't even find mine in the MB Star** system. He thinks it will be a July build for August delivery. I have the very first one and they really want it in. It better not have a ton of "delivery" miles on it.

Thanks for posting those Brabus ML pictures. First thing I do is put the Brabus rims on, the stock ones don't do it for me!

Mine was supposed to be built on September 9th. I cancelled the order. There is so much hype about the new 63 motor and there is not a single real road test of any Benz with a 63 motor by any magazine I could find. To not have an MSRP at this late date, and no real review by a magazine makes the whole thing smell odd. I'm guessing about $90,000.00 for a loaded model. Not worth it.
