Hi guys,

I'm going to possibly get rid of the ML63 AMG. Was a great car while it lasted, but the interior is really bland and the ride/seats are a bit too harsh for my liking after 3 years.

I went to drive the X5 ///M today while I was at the Rolls-Royce dealer. What a monster! I must say I am very impressed! The sound of the car is just phenomenal! Sounds like thunder going off repeatedly within milliseconds at wide open throttle! Really didn't expect that.

I am going to drive the Q7 V12 TDi next week, I am leaning towards the Q7 though. Reason being, that I have never had an Audi - even if the X5 ///M is faster, that's not a big deal for me.

Prices are rather similar as well.

What do you think?

PS. No X6 ///M, the car doesn't look all that great for me. No offense to X6 owners. Different strokes for different folks.

 

I've only been in the X5 ///M and while it's awesome and really fast, I still think the Q7 V12 TDI is the way to go.

 

Q7 my friend, I personally never took to the X5 and will NEVER take to the X6

 

1. Q7
2. Peel P50
3. Death
4. Buttrape
5. BMW

 

Thanks for that interesting analogy jox

 

So I take it you have drawn upon your personal experiences with all 5 in formulating your hierarchy....

 

Jox I gather you dont like BMW much

If I remember correctly Clarkson liked the Q7 the most, if that is anything to go by.

 

+1
Q7 is 1000 times the vehicle.

 

No I'm sure the BMW is excellent, and I adored my E60 (which is the only Bimmer I've had). But the fact of the matter is this - you're a middle management banker, you want to impress some random chick with your incredibly politically incorrect and frankly pretty ugly SUV. You go to a dealership and you buy the X5 M, not knowing a goddamn thing about it, and you don't really care, either. Because it's expensive.

Mike's not that guy. And that's why Mike will buy the Q7.

 

You gotta go for the Q7 V12, Mike! It's just such a weird and monstrous car, plus they only built a few hundred of them. I guess it'll be a collectors item some day!
