Hello ..... just joined MBWorld this morning

I'm actually the not so "better" half of the " omgits " meaning yes omgitselaine is actually my significant other

I'm getting her ride and she's getting a larger vehicle like a SUV !!! I've been thinking of trading in her C300 for either a C63 or a W212 but am still undecided for now. I won't bother with any pictures of her oopppssss ...... meant my W204 since it looks as if she's shared more than enough photos of hers in the forum already

Thanks !! Well ..... if we're not thinking of our budget an RR Sport which I wouldn't mind at all since I of course get to drive it on weekends when she's not working !! If we do the right thing and do keep our budget in mind then more than likely an Acura MDX 07- 10. We really don't like the newer 11' style with the "infamous" beak

I was goin to recommend the RR Sport..awesome truck. The MDX is nice too but I agree the new beak is freakin hideous.

What about the new Porsche Cayenne V6? Starts at a very reasonable $46k, 300hp, well-equipped, gorgeous. If I were looking for an suv that would be my pick.

OMG .... as elaine would often say the new Cayenne starts at 46K ?? I am sure once options it out it'll quickly run towards the RR Sports pricing which in that case I'd go with the RR instead but it certainly is worth looking into and thanks for the head's up !! Bottom line it'll probably be Elaine's choice and knowing her she'll keep the budget in mind thus the MDX looks like the front runner right now.

Yeah that was my thought as well. I skimmed the standard features list and it seemed pretty well equipped..about on par with it's competitors. Obviously the MDX prob offers more bang for the buck but I'd say the Cayenne is worth the extra $$.

All your choices are good though..good luck with whatever you end up with.
