I'm sure it will be a great SUV. For some reason to me all the MB line up is getting very "egg" looking. I noticed it a lot in the C63 and in this car I am starting to see the same. I can't quite put my finger on it but the models all just give a very oval-ish look to them. MB design to me as of late before these new models, have always seem to have very linear and sharp edges now def seems they are consciously trying to change that. Could just be me though

More like imitation than answer.. Not speaking to anything beyond the looks, as I'm not in the market for either car.. Just saying, it looks an awful lot like the same shape. The ML always had its own look, same with the GL. This looks like an X6 knock off, regardless of how well it does or doesn't keep up on the performance side.

There's another thread with side by side pics. It's unbelievable how similar the shape is.

I agree. I'm not into the change in styling.

Agree. Looks too similar to me. The rear lights look nice, the front is ok, the side profile is not very aggressive. The interior is probably nicer but we'll see how well it drives. Hope it drives a lot better than a GL63.

I will take x6M over this.

100 % Agreed with that !
In Belgium you almost never see any V8 , because of the insane yearly driver taxes on it ,but we care about our cars .
And in the Netherlands mostly you see small little and old cars, they don't care about cars in general .
I never liked the Netherlands because their cities are depressing , but their sex industries are doing well !
BTW..Glad to hear you don't took your car to the Netherlands because there is a lot of drugs and vandalism,strange figures !
I would never go to the Netherlands with my car..

If you realy want to take your car to the Netherlands....
1- Never park your car where you don't see it ! (even not 1 minute) !
2- When you park it and even when you see your car watch out for the people that walk along it ! (Scratches they realy don't care , or are full of dope...drugs,ect...)
3-At night park your car "always" in your garage and make sure the garage is locked ,and car locked with alarm always on !
4-When it's not possible to park your car into garage at night => You can better sleep in it !

Don't want scare the 5H1T out of you my friend but...
The Netherlands is the land of Peace&Love...
In other words...Hookers,dealers,junkies,marijuana,coke,cra ck,speed and heroin !
Believe me !
