I voted for the X6-M because I own the 50i version of it, and I honestly do think it is the strongest in the looks department, and I am sure it will be a great performer.
The second choice would be the ML 63AMG because I love the looks of it, besides I am a secret MB admirer.
The third choice will be the X5-M.
The Porsche will be the next and the Audi the last.

 

[VroomVroom]

X6-M

 

[Merc1]

X6 M for me....then Cayenne then ML.

M

 

[CarGuy]

A lot of people love the new X6, I thought X5 has always been and remained superior, guess not.

 

[Mr Robert]

I'll take the one that is trying to do something against it's nature. It is about 3 tons and trying to act as a sportscar. You have to love it for trying! X6M.

 

[cawimmer430]

Where is the 1996 Mitsubishi Pajero 2500 Intercooler Turbodiesel with 99-horsepower?

 

[ree]

Voted for the ML 63 AMG here - still my favourite power truck!

 

[Tarek]

A black ML63 AMG for please..stunning looking truck!

 

[Yperion]

The words "Sport perfomance" and "SUV" don't fit in the same sentence imo.

On the other hand if i had to choose one of those i would take the X6.

 

[LaArtist]

Umm we just had a poll like this ..called the SUV battle..
But once again the ML gets it

 

[Pekka]

X6 M for me.

 

[rev]

Voted for the diesel monster. I know it's not the best looking SUV but with all that torque under the hood, who cares about the looks.

 

[klier]

^ True, that's the only advantage of the 6.0 V12 Audi engine....those 1000 Nm makes the 680 Nm of X5/6 M look weak

However, Q7 would be my last choice. Turbo S second last, then ML 63 and then X5 M and X6 M. X6 is the fastest, best looking inside out and most high tech truck right now.

LMAO

 

[MikeJ]

However, Q7 would be my last choice. Turbo S second last, then ML 63 and then X5 M and X6 M.

Now reverse that list and it's pretty much how I rank them, which means that all is well in the world.

 

[Human]

X6 M For me thanx! Cayenne then ML, Audi last.

 

[GTA45E]

Design wise I think thay all are pretty sharp looking vehicles except the Porsche.
I voted for the ML63 anyway. Still my favorite. I like the Audi as well, it would be my second choice followed by the X6M. The X5M looks a little too boxy imo. I know the Porsche is a good SUX but the design is too VW.

 

[cawimmer430]

LMAO

I'm serious. That SUV kicks so much ass. We used to have one. 2.5-l intercooler turbodiesel 4-cylinder with 99-horsepower and 240 Nm of torque. 5-speed manual. 0-100 km/h in 18 seconds.

PURE FUN

I'd take that thing over an ML63 AMG or ML320 CDI anyday.

 

[Tarek]

I'd take that thing over an ML63 AMG or ML320 CDI anyday.

 

[cawimmer430]

I'm serious. Pajero's are so cool.
