The car is an absolute freaking beast! The Turbo S better been a huge improvement, this thing will eat my Cayenne Turbo up alive! It's damn fast for a SUV! The braking is also much better than what comes standard on a Cayenne Turbo. The ML's brakes are simply HUGE, mention they are drilled and ventilated. Some photo's

Wow, very nice. Still on the fence between this and CTT.Perhaps this is the performance SUV to have.

How did the handling feel?

Interior wise the CTT is much nicer, the ML's interior feels cheap, but for a daily beater it's more than adequate.

The handling was also good, although the suspension is still soft compared to the X5 4.8iS.

I was in ML63 today and CTTS last night...I think interior on ML is way better...seats no comparison..

Do not like the running boards on ML..makes getting in and out harder...hate them in fact...looks superflous on the black one I saw today...
