There is a roadtest out there of E63 vs M5 vs Audi S6

I read that yesterday. I don't know how real it is. Maybe they drove it a little, or were driven in the E63? There were too many *mfg. estimate times/specs. I didn't get the impression that they got a lot of time in the vehicle.

I ordered one in April. A month a go, they called and said it would arrive in november...at 92K.

So, I said forget it, picked up an ML500 with AMG body package (62k list for 49,500) and am doing some mods. lowering, exhaust, ML63 fender flares etc...Will have enough spare change to buy an island or two in the Pacific...

I just came back from the ML63 at the dealer ship sounds crazy loud and it costs 34 thousand kd which is equivelent to the price of a loaded CTT

I saw one in my neighborhood. It looks great, but I think I would take a cayenne tt... If I ever wanted a high performance SUV like that.

I think a 63 would look extreme only in black...and why not putting some Brabus wheels on it too!

Nice pics but seriously would you guys but this car or the Cayenne Turbo?

Seems like the Cayenne is more sport oriented than this car? Or am I wrong since I know nothing about this new AMG version...what is the hp? torque?

Will eventually need to replace my ML with a new one but this one is probably out of my price range. But I agree a white one with some 22" rims would be the ultimate cruiser

And at 80k, it's a steal compared to the Cayenne Turbo (S).
