Hi, I am about to get an ML63 amg. I have been deiciding on the ML or X6. I am leaning towards the ML63.

So any guys out there has an ML63 an could give me an evaluation on the car?

Also do you think they are going to facelift or change the body soon again? Because they just had a facelift on 2009 I am getting 2010 I don't want to get it and the new body is coming out.

Thanks very appreciated with all the inputs and opinions to come!!!

ML is better looking, sharper interior, command II is a big improvement over earlier ML's and miles ahead of iDrive, and the vehicle has more low end grunt.

ML63 all the way...

X6 is impossible to see out of and looks too odd to me. It may handle better on a track but how often do you go to the track? It is well made and nice ride so if the styling really works for you then what the heck. The ML63 is almost as quick on a technical track as an M5. I personally don't need to be able to take a corner at 90.1 mph. The 90.0 mph the ML can do is quite enough! I did test drive the X6 and I wouln't consider a trade of the ML for it.

Ml63, Cayenne Turbo S and X5M are all great vehicles. I was at the dealer today as my M3 was in for service and I was looking at the X5M . It has latest tech of the three and new HD navi is superb.

X6M was there too but it's ugly and lacking in room.

For me of the three I'd personally rate them in the following order taking styling, power, braking handling and interior into account:

X5M>ML63>TTS>X6M

Excellent and honest post!! I test drove my friends X5 M the other day. Now I love my ML 63 but the X5 M is dynamically superior to the Benz. I am sure the Mercedes will come back with a good response to the X5 M, but right now the BMW has the upper hand. That's just progress...thank goodness for that.
