Hi G-Baby...Here are my responses...

-How is the ride quality? comparable to Discovery II or better?
Ride quality is great. It is much better than a Disco II.

-Is there alot of wind noise/engine noise inside the cabin?
Interior is very comfortable with not much wind noise. I was doing 85mph on the beltway other day. Noise level not more than any other SUV (Discovery II or my Range Rover)

-How is COMMAND?
COMAND is really cool. Just enter the address and takes you there. Get the MB Phone installed and it integrates very well with the voice control.

-Does it lean when turning at moderate speeds?
There is no body lean on turning, I was a little nervous, but I pushed it to see how much speed I can get away with. It did very good. I wasn't able to do that in Disco II. I can in the Range Rover.

-From a scale 1-10 How comfortable would you rate the Seats?
Seats are very comfortable, I give it 8, actually more comfortable than my CLK Seats, but not as comfotable as a S Class. And heated both fronts and backs are great in winter around here.

-Does your car feel underpowered or just right?
V8 has plenty of power, even with all that weight. It picks up pretty good.

-What are some responses from others while you drive around the G500?
So far, mix responses. Some people really like the shape and uniqueness. Some thinks it is too boxy. In any event, everyone thinks it is definitely unique and very luxury interior with high tech gadgets...
