It is Benz, I feel same. Amazingly well shown that boxy could be "sexy". Nice car.

Yes... a very nice box - but G-Wagen is still boss.

american sales continue to slump. people hate on the benz but its doing amazing and there is nothing the limons can do about it. sales increasing with profits. american companies losing billions.

lol, they sold 10,000 in europe? and thats considered amazing? if it was 100,000 I would consider that to be a bigger success. Most american suv's sell in the couple hundreds of thousands of units a year.

That's 10,000 on launch Limon, not for the whole year. But either way... Europe will never be as big a market for wasteful 4WD vehicles I guess.

just shows how many old people in western europe can afford such an ugly car.

Bollux! It is quite an impressive auto! It looks very nice and I wish I could get one. But petrol prices here in the states are too high for me to enjoy such a fine piece of machinery.

when I read your comment all I can picture is that you look like the guy standing beside the white one. gj I guess.

Nurchus are you high? Fuel Prices in Europe (and most of the rest of the world) are way higher than in the US.

i'm sure that at least in europe 90% of those cars will be diesel powered. Btw. here people have gas 3 to even 4 times more expensive than in the US, so You really should not complain. Americans just got used to too cheap gasoline.

I can well appreciate the marques of MB but such a barge on wheels has become the bling language of the rich who secretly crave to have street cred`. Cry Cayenne, for you have been dethroned.

nice contemporary lines. dont see how ppl can call this ugly. the one in white and large wheels looks real good. n with a price what betweeen the c and an eclass? should be good.

Brian, designo is spelt incorrectly on line 9, paragraph 2. You spelt it as "disigno" and not designo

It is just a fingertip misprint. DESIGNO is not a word in any language, mistake probably caused by knowing italian word DISEGNO.
August 2, 2008 5:32 pm
Drop in the 6.2 V8 and make an AMG version and it will cause some serious competition for the Range Rover Sport and to some degree...the Cayenne. The ML63 is too fat and bloated. This is just what we need!

i think this is an amzaing looking car alot better than the x3 and the q5. the x3 is too old and boring and the q5 too fat looking... it probably does help that i am a mercedes fan but hey aint it just a great looking car???

babymilo i a hardcore bmw fan but i agree with you, the X3 is ugly, by far the ugliest in the current bmw line up. audi is just sorry. but this benz really does look good, they make boxy cars look pretty darn good along with land rover.

The Bmw x6 by far has all of the suv's beat in performance and looks. It especially looks better than that man standing next to that hearse looking ride.
August 3, 2008 2:05 am
That thing looks like an old Subaru! If it's quality is anything like a typical Mercedes, it will be a piece of glorified manure.

Definitely better looking than the ML! Hopefully it wont have a ridiculous price attached to the good looks.

t17 yep the bmw x6 xdrive50i does by far outperform every suv in the market, even the porsche cayenne turbo with 500hp. sadly, a lot of people are still convince that the cayenne turbo still outperforms the x6 even if its not true...
