dang > cant stop lookin @ that Aussie Bouncing her....
Juz hope MB does that shape $ with 6.3 engine with "Quattro" > nothing anyone else would have even close!
MSeries is a dud when I drove it some yrs ago - too much body roll for one thing
.....my 2c worth

350 GLK, C280
Once my eyes stopped moving up and down ( thanks hyperion), I have to ask why would MB do that? We see almost no X6's and may a Honda Crosstour once every 3 or 4 months. Do they really sell these things?

talk about a funky looking car: that crosstour is so funny looking........the MB does not look much better....very tall and bulky looking.....seems very odd folks would buy this one......but a beater? nah

Phew ! hard work driving and readin this post(s)
Lol !...
Well few months ago when I was looking at ORDERING A DISEAL - I did the dealer rounds and drove these:
a) BMWX5d & X6 M series
b) Tourage TDI
c) Porsche TDI premium
d) ML 350D and of cause GLK250
Finally ended up ordering the GLK (due to price and fuel usage) and didn't want to spend that 90K for a diesel that is basically SAME ENGINES in ALL OF THEM. THE ONLY difference was the GLK which kinda was nice for what we wanted to do - Long road trip around AMERICA's
ALSO - the most impressive of the lot was X6M series but then it wasn't DISEAL (I know not apple to apple comparison) but I cant see me driving it to work at that money unless the LEASE or cost was TAX DEDUCABLE !
X6 is big seller in NON-America;s for BMW and I think MB will do nearly same body shape to get their market-share. However the X6 body shape is not very functional for daily use - HIGH LOADING BACK DOOR (tuff for mums shopping lift!) and rest of space is not much better for generaly LONG RIDES. M series are generally setup with 'stiff-rides' which I like a lot as a hate that high bulk rolling around in corners....
And not thinking of "hyperion' software and databases etc etc ,,,,,,,,,,, hack am a new retiree! yipeee...now back to more important things >watching bouncing B,,,,,,,,

2014 glk 250BT (RIP, 3/1/17}, 2010 C300
60k base so you can figure mid 70s loaded out 100k for an AMG?. I'll stick with the glk better visibility with the greenhouse cabin.
Wait, does she come with the car? if so put me in line!
