Autozeitung: ML63 vs. Cayenne Turbo S...

http://www.autozeitung.de/index.php?...detail&id=1793

ML wins 0-100 and 0-200 Km/h and handling. Porsche wins comfort.

The verdict is in: The ML is faster

It would have been nice if the article was in English! Comfort probably comes second in priority for people that are looking to buy those cars.

I stand corrected (my german is mediocre):

The ML wins performance, comfort, pricing, carosserie and engine characteristics.

The Cayenne wins handling. Stragely, as it looses the track run and slalom run.

Read it again. Here is what I got from the article:

It compared a ML63 and a Cayenne Turbo S. The results were that the ML63 was faster in straight line acceleration, but the Porsche handled better.

Slalom: ML63 58.7 km/h
Cayenne Turbo S 61.9 km/h WINNER

Braking (100 km/h to 0): ML63 37.3
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 36.1 WINNER

ML was 0.9sec quicker round the test track, however.
Them two things are ridiculously fast.
ML gets to 120kmh in 6.9secs!

I stand corrected, again.

However, the ML was faster around the track. So it's a bit more than 'that the ML63 was faster in straight line acceleration'

The Cayenne Turbo S is an impressive vehicle -- I don't think that many dispute that.

What I am hoping is that the ML63 is equally as impressive - or is impressive as well - and I am sure that it will be....
