In my opinion, the design and material of the interior are better than the ML but not as good as the GL. Fit especially exterior panel definitely need some work.
Btw, I get the 14 ways seat and they are to die for..... carry over from the 911. Nothing really fancy about them but there is some magic about how they hug your body. Hard to explain.

The thing I like about Porsche is that even on the lower end engine offerings, you can still opt up the car with most if not all the options offered on higher end models; something not offered on its German rivals. Take the ML350 Bluetec for example, if you wanted soft close doors, you'd have to spring for the 550 or 63. Really annoys me cause some people want the more economical engines but want and are willing to pay for the options from the higher end models.

And there's also option for seat, called "Multicontour seat". I think its same as what you called 14 ways seat in porsche.

I assume you don't know mercedes well. ML and GL have the exact same interior material and design even the front seat size. The quality just depend on the equipped option such as Leather package, sport package.

After having multicontour seats in the w221, it's a must for future cars. Well worth the price on the new ML.

Actually, if you buy a new car you can add that soft close door option on any model for 500 bucks.

Perhaps he was just comparing the base ML and GL interiors cause the GL comes with a stitched dash as standard but come optional on the Macan and the ML. idk though...

Wow for the s class. I'm not sure about w221. I tried the newer model w222. The multic seat is amazing comfort. It's feel much better comparing to the ML's.

What I mean is you added when you purchase a new car. You can build you own. Just come to any dealer ask for a order guide and choose whatever feature you want to add. The “ordered car” probably take one month to deliver. In that case it‘s only $500.
But if you what to add after the car is delivered which is "in stock" one. It will be cost thousands.

Oh, I meant it's definitely worth ticking off the option for multicontour seats on the ML as they're much better than the standard seats.

Man, you guys in the states are soooo lucky...better prices, better selection of lot vehicles, better selection of CPO vehicles, and most importantly, better options (no MBC in Canada for the S550)

Supernsx, did you also test the Macan Turbo before settling with the Macan S? If you did, could you please share how it compared the the S?

No, my dealer is all sold out till October and all the S or Turbo are customer orders and they are not available for test drive. Turbo and the S is pretty much the same car except Turbo goes from 0-60 in 4.4 (compared to 5.2s for the S). If you want a car in the 4's, turbo will be it. There are not many cars/SUV that have that type of performance in the $70k range. Otherwise, I think S is a better value.

Then you should of bought one and not a wanna be car, uh, cuv, uh suv. WTF is that thing anyway? Its hideous. But I guess you get what you pay for.
FYI nobody give a **** about 0-60 times. When was the last time ANYONE raced to 60? Maybe thats a porsche fanboy thing??

Troll? Yes you are. Explain what post count has anything to do with anything. Who cares if you were a member of a free open forum for 8 years. What does that mean? Numbers numbers numbers. Post count, years on here, 0-60 times. Nobody cares but you. I'm sure you started one day with zero posts. But now cause you have more that makes you what? Don't reply back. Have fun with your station wagon.
