10 Cayenne GTS, 07 Porsche 911 Turbo
So Long

Just completed my move away from MB to Porsche (I have no brand loyalty). Replaced my 09 ML550 with a 2010 Porsche Cayenne GTS Design Edition 3 (rare, less than 100 for the USA). I enjoyed my ML but the GTS is an improvement in both ride and interior quality. So long for now.

What made you choose the Porsche over the ML63 AMG?

The Cayenne interior is a lot nice, the nav system from 2009 on is better, there is less body roll, the Cayenne feels more planted and stable, it handles more like a Porsche (more driver involvement) than a truck (MB), my 09 had 75k on the speedo and was beginning to experience reliability problems, and finally, reputation and resale. It was just time to move on to another brand.

2014 ML350 BlueTec.
Thumbs up Wish you all the best..........

I was just at the Detroit Auto show a few weeks back and really enjoyed the Porsche Cayenne....I will see if MB has any plans of altering the current W166 or even what this new MB SUV is supposed to look like...I'm hearing that, it will rival the X1, so clearly a smaller M-Class, might be interesting.........
