I actually really like this, i was not a fan of the old m-class but this one looks nice. The next x5 got to be nice to compete with this.

no one said its a v12 460hp engine...btw, it's supposedly a 5.5L V8 engine ported and polished to a 6.3L V8 engine...don't know the rest of the story though...lets just hope, since its made in the states again, things will not break down dat easily...talk about american reliability...

Finally a kid carrier that looks good, I like it better than the X5 and toureg.

However I still think SUV's should be taxed off the roads though, the sheer mass and momentum overide the safty features in normal cars.

This is a big leap over the aged and now crappy looking M-class.
Only doubt for me would be the back, the backlights being located so down
