I think the X5 still handles better. That's what I remember when reading about the Merc's handling.
But who cares about handling that much when they're so close for an SUV? Get one that's the nicest. The Merc that is. Or the best - Cayenne. Put simply.

It`s a common misconception that SUVs really offer more space than Avants/Wagons or similar cars,..
So I`d say Panamera GTS - one hell of a car
other than that,keep the X5 or go for the Cayenne TT or GTS

I dont miss the CTT one iota. In fact - I realize now just how uninspiring the Cayenne actually was/is.
I have been enjoying the ML63 since I got it. Love the engine note. Love the options that are standard. Love the fact it doesnt cost $135K - Porsche is getting too big for their britches and is charging like there is not competition.
The BMW's - while nice - as I said in my post - MB really came strong with this round of ML63. I would imagine that many of the nay sayers in this thread have not driven, let alone have heard how great the exhaust note of the ML really is.
I agree with the one poster who mentioned the 2013 RR Supercharged. I'm sure it will be a super nice SUV. It will not handle like the ML63, CTT etc - but it will be a super nice truck.
I have owned many many proper cars and still do - and the ML wins. At least until the next 650hp SUV comes out.
Lastly - I agree with the poster about the stationwaggons - we in the US are strange - we dont love the waggon. I would have loved an S6 avant but, I dont think they are going to make one for the US market. The S6 RS6 were amazing in their last iteration here in the States....just not sure the RS6 is coming and no S6 Avant is what my Audi dealer told me.
Go for the ML63 - it seriously kicks ass.
