ML320 SUX SHIT
Chris
The ML320 is crappy, if your gonna get a SUV in that pricerange get a Lexus
RX300. It is A LOT better and does not look crappy like the loaf of bread
ML320. Also performance is better and the interior is a whole lot more
organized, the controls are easier to operate, the second row has more leg
room, and the car is also quieter, it is also more stable. Oh, PEDRO, if
your reading this, I am not red with envy at people who have an ML320, I
have a much better car, A Lexus LX450 and I am already pre-ordering a Lexus
LX470, I also have an AMG modified S420 and a 190E for my son, and a company
Lexus GS400. So no, I'm not red with envy, I think that people are stupid
spending money on the ML320 (The worst SUV built to date).

For someone who has a lot of money, your prose shure sounds like that of
a wishful 14 year old. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. If
you live in the US just what has AMG done for your S420? Appearance
package or motor and suspension mods? BTW you should know that AMG
really doesn't "exist" anymore in the US. It has been taken over by the
MB factory. Renntech is now the torchbearer for MB mods.
I agree the ML320 is not MB's best looking design to date. But that's
very subjective. Some people really like the vehicle. My subjective view
of the Lexus RX300 is that it's highly derivative. It looks like Lexus
tried to copy the look of the MB. It really doesn't look very original.
I don't think it even has 4wd Lo range. And the GS400 is a really ugly
car. I had the opportunity a few weeks ago to purchase one and while I
liked the performance aspect, I decided I couldn't live with such an
ugly vehicle. It's like being married to an ugly woman. Every morning
you wake up and she's still ugly.
If you think the Ml320 is the worst SUV built to date then you obviously
haven't seen the Dodge Raider, Suzuki Samurai, or any number of Kia's.
If you've got the bucks and want a real 4x4 and can deal with the
maintenance, get a Range Rover 4.6 HSE.

Why don't you sell the "AMG modified S420" and buy yourself two more GS400?
While you are at it, sell the 190E as well and buy your son a little Lexus.
Your life would be so much easier.

I don't know "Chris," if that's your name, it sounds like you make
$500,000 a year with all the nice cars you drive. And for a father
you sound like you're, oh, 13 tops. I bet you fucked all the girls at
a pretty young age, I bet you fucked your mom too, and you liked it.

I've driven the ML320. I'd not trade my '93 Grand Cherokee for it
(even with the dying tranny). It had nothing going for it under the
guise of Mercedes. The ride was not very good, the seats a let down,
the view was alright but no better than an average mini-van. Someone
at the dealership (on the staff no less) was talking to another sales
associate and I thinkt hey hit it on the head. "Look at it this way,
Mercedes just redesigned the Mazda MPV.. You know? The AWD mini-van?"
When I looked closer he couldn't have been more accurate. The tranny,
for all of it's gears, hunts and pecks while driving. The acceleration
is not very good (coming from a Miata driver that says something
though comparing it against the V8 in the Jeep isn't fair). Fit and
finish were good. Quality fo workmanship seemed good.. but the package
was just not a Mercedes. It even lacked the proper door switches for
the seats, the refined console, the feel, etc. Nothing about the car
(It's more car/minivan than it is an SUV) was Mercedes. I can see why
Porsche pulled itself from the project. I think it was a wise move.
The ML320 does hit one thing on the head: Perfect price point! They
could have charged more for it but they didn't. I think for most
people and their intended use it's a fair amount charged for what you
get. It is off-road capable but the extent most will use it (snow
skiing, the odd forest road, etc.) will suit the target of the ML
perfectly.

As the RX300 isn't on the floors yet (that I know of) I can't compare
the two. It wouldn't take much to improve the interior of the ML,
however. At least in my opinion. (The forward cant of the seats
reminded me of the old Mitsubishi Expo.. when you hit the brakes you
feel like the car is going to throw you through the windshield)

Hey Chris, people who can afford ML320's, Lexus LX450's, AMG's, etc.
don't tend to brag about it. Nor do they start lines with "Lexus Sux"
or use little Elite (sic) hacker names like "StrikerX". Unless of
course you are the son writing for the account. Do you expect anyone
here to take you seriously when you post this way? I'm glad you enjoy
your overbuilt overpriced LandCruiser (LX-450) which desperately needs
a retuned version of Lexus' own V8, that is, if you even have one. I
question whether or not you have ever even driven the ML or most of
the others of which you claim.
When confronted with two evils I take the one I've never tried!

He'd not step down that willingly.. would he? Btw, with Lexus's
competition to the 190 being the Camry..err.. E-320 I'd rather stick
with the 300E myself.. At least it has the proper wheels being driven
and does something when you put your foot into the throttle.

Has anybody else noticed that the Mercedes-Bubba SUV looks just like a
Geo Metro on steroids ? I suppose this is what you get when you pass a box
thru a wind tunnel.

I hope "Chris" if-that's-his-real-name likes the way the Lexus MDC drivers.
BTW, the model name stands for My Daddy's Car.

Couldn't agree more with your statement that the ML resembles the Mazda MPV.
I have an MPV and was going to replace it with the ML, but after my wife
looked at the brochure her conclusion was it looked strikingly similar to
the ML. Needless to say, it's off the list.
