So the ML has less power but faster to 100km? nice to say the least

 

[PanterroR]

It's also lighter for more than 100 kilos...

The ML500 also has a 7-speed transmission whereas the competitors make use of a 6-speed. This means it can have lower gear ratios in the lower gears for quicker acceleration.

I can't believe how good the Cayenne looks this late in its life with just the addition of 3 new letters...G...T....S. Excellent, my choice easily.

The front of the Cayenne looks great, though the rear looks old and fat if you ask me.

 

[Tarek]

Can't wait for the FL,will make it even more appealing to me,my default choice

The 500 is not exactly the sporty version of the ML range so it shouldn't be compared to the other two cars, so its victory and its permormance nummers are a surprise to me
