MB makes a great beautiful vehicle but when you drive any AMG and compare it to the handling of a BMW there is no comparison. Nothing handles like a BMW, there is no body roll and there is such a great road feel through the wheel. Of course, Lambos and Ferraris have a great feel but there is a cost factor, the 911 feels great also but more of a dune buggy ride on rough surfaces. BMW does a good job on a mass produced car

u do seem to forget this is an SUV, it is suposed to be able to go offroad thats why u cant have a "fully stiff" suspencion. Can a bmw x5 m go offroad?? exacly, and that makes it pointless

This thing should be equipped with Airmatic DC, with it engaged in sport mode it should lower the vehicle slightly and firm up the chassis a bit. I can see nothing that can be described as firm in these pics. But maybe I'm wrong perhaps this SUV is truly flying around the corners setting records left and right. Who knows.

My 73 El Camino had less body roll than that, I think I may be right when I say that my 04 truck could outhandle this thing.

It will come equiped with the latest suspension adjustments as it is standard in this version but Mercedes always tests their equipment in all kind of situations and in this case I beliave they are testing the "confort" setting in extreme driving. I do like alot the fact that Mercedes tests its cars thinking of all situations, shows hard work and forward thinking

Even in the comfort setting the suspension will always revert to the sport mode temporarily when encountering severe evasive maneuvers to improve stability and safety.
