Might be a new owner, need some help

Hey guys, not sure if you were reading any of my other posts, but i thought i narrowed it down to me getting a Range Rover Sport SC.

Well i am back to square one, i dont know if i want the ML550 and Range Rover.

Any advice would be great, any previous owners of each?

i would be getting a an 08 Range or an 09 ML550.

The ML killls the Rover in technolgy on the inside. The Range Rover has better styling, more truck like and very sporty suspension.

I am on great terms with my benz dealer, so it is very helpful to buy a benz, expecially since i will likely pay under 50k for an ML550 with under 10k miles. I know nobody at the Rover Dealer.

i am no sure what to do, i need some help and some valid points pleaseeee

'09 ML550
You think the RR has better styling than the ML550 with AMG body kit? Wow. I think the ML/AMG is about as handsome as they come. And if you find an ML550 with Airmatic suspension, I'll wager it will out 'sport' the RR when the suspension is set to Sport mode. Best of both worlds!

This is the real AMG but except for slightly larger wheel arch flares and the black piece across the lower grille, it is identical to the ML550 with AMG kit.

Styling?? The Range Rover is a box on 4 wheels. If you like spending time in shops and driving loaners if they even offer them buy the RR.

Mercedes ML
As an ML owner, I say get the Range Rover. The Range Rover has a different scale of luxury. It's basically an S-Class on giant wheels, with 7 seats, and much more space. Even its HK sound system is more powerful with 720W compared to the 610W on the ML. Also, the leather on the Range Rover is of much higher quality.

You making this comment because the sound system has more wattage and that you feel the leather is better (its not). Wow, your reasoning is frightening!! The S Class by the way is head and heels better than any Range Rover.... so is the C Class!!
