Nice car!
Not a Mama only car imo...
I`d happily use such a beast to go out with friends on a trip or haul people/family to events/restaurants/movies etc

Ya know, I had my 2010 ML right next to it and didn't even look at them side by side. Seems to be about the same inside, space-wise. I'd have to look at the actual spec sheet to know if there was an actual difference.

No, not a Mama-only car, but primarily one. Most certainly a great vehicle to take into town with friends. Still looking for a replacement for my STi which could fit a similar bill......

Making the trip back home this afternoon. The Mrs. was all smiles on her first time behind the wheel yesterday. I have a feeling she won't let me drive much today

Ed,
Congrats to you and the your lady.
Give us a spec sheet or pic of the window sticker with all the options. I understand how some are anti-MB, as I was until recently. They have really been putting out a better product lately. They handle much better, very solid and smooth ride feel, and great interior build. The new SL rides just as smooth and comfortable as the new Bentley GT, but just not as good looking.
The only thing that I am not sold on for the ML63 is its exterior looks, but I have not seen one in person yet.

Thanks!
For a truck, it's not bad looking. Aesthetically, I prefer the X5 or even the Q7. Interior-wise, hard to beat MB.
On the way back home today, I didn't throw this around any corners with my wife and daughter in the car, but as far as straightline speed and highway-bombing, it's pretty brutal for an SUV. And I gotta say it again, the sound of that V8 is just awesome. My next car has to have one of those!

Here's two pics I took of the sticker. Hard to get all the info in one pic without making it completely illegible.

Great options. Glad you sprung for the performance pkg. This truck hits 100mph a full second faster then a CTT. And the driver assistance pkg, IMO these are the 2 must have options for this truck.
