GTR or ml 63 AMG

I know completely different cars but hear me out.

we are getting rid of our cl600, and I have been thinking of which car wouuld make a decent replacement. My first thought was the gtr ( i Know its nissan, and a 350 on steroids, but its still an amazing car), the problem is our stable consists of 599,slr,m6,vanquish,r8,scud, Q7. so there is plenty of sports cars but as you can see only one car thats really set up for travel. Thats where the ML comes in.

I do not know much about the ml63 so I was hoping to get some of your opinions on the matter

thanks

AK

I will.... as soon as this summer rain stops in florida.
thank you, I was already welcomed in the lambo thread pretty harshly for seeking advice on trading the r8 for an lp560, but most of them were really cool.

Im looking for one extra car really, maybe when the lease on the 328 coupe ends in october ends ill get another one.

any views on the ml63.... likes dislikes.... btw I am 20 years old turning 21 in july. In case that helps lol, and no they are not all my cars, it's just part of my family, and I drive all of them except the slr ( dont really like it, looks great though).

Well, if you've got a Q7, I'm not sure why there'd really be a need for an ML63. Then again, it seems like you've got plenty of cars that are more fun than the GTR as well. I'd say you have your bases covered and don't really need anything to pad the stable. That being said, what about a sedan? I can't think of any better long distance cruiser than the Bentley Flying Spur/Conti GT. If that's too much $$$, what about something like an Audi S8/MB S63 or even an M5 if you don't need a ton of room?

Edit: sorry, I realize I kinda dodged your question about the ML63. I've never owned one but they're pretty bloody quick for being a decent sized SUV. If it had to be an SUV though, I'd hold out for the BMW X5M or X6M that will be released this Fall, iirc. I just get the feeling that they're more of a "drivers SUV" as opposed to the ML63.

yea i understand, but the x's are ugly ( in my opinion).
I do have a lot of sports cars, but those are all high ends, an I feel like it would be a lot of fun to drive.

i was also thinking sedan, but im 20. bentley is for the older crowd, m5 doesnt make sense since we have an m6. beside sedans dont really get me going, but thanks for the feedback
