It will be interesting to see how the re-freshed 2008 Cayenne that is due out in early 2007 will compare with the ML63. Remember, the Cayenne came out in 2003 before the latest round of the horsepower wars began. So you are comparing a 2003 vintage design with a 2007 design.

Here are some of the rumors floating around:

Cayenne S : 4.8 l with 380 HP
- about 15-20 % less consumption
- new navigation system (larger screen, Ipod, may be Bluetooth)
- much improved driving feeling - comparable with 911
- improved dash board surface (without full leather)
Turbo will have at least 500 HP
Future Turbo S - ???????

This is irrelveant with regards to pure hp. The Turbo S is a 2007 vehicle and its raw power reflects this.

E46 M3 & Jeep SRT8 E60 M5 on order
how many of us really go off-road with an SUV - I think the ML63 and turbo S could lose a couple of hundred pounds.

the reason for the above post it that I know you guys don't want to hear it is that the Jeep SRT8 is not trail rated and therefore is approximatley 1,000 pounds lighther than the turbo and ML 63. Even though it has approximatley 90 less horsepower it sprints the above mentioned speed in the following times pursuant to the november issue of road and track:

4.8 to 100
11.1 to 160

the above times can't really be compared because is wasn't done on the same day and same conditions but it does give you a referance on the straight line stock performance of the Jeep SRT8

Not to nit pic but it is a 2006 vehicle. There is no 2007 Cayenne.

The point I was trying to make was that we have seen various vehicles climb to the top of the heap only to knocked off the top by the next latest greatest vehicle. The Cayenne Turbo was the first of the true "super" SUV's. The Cayenne Turbo S took it up a level. Now the ML63 has taken the lead in some measures of performance. It has not bested the Cayenne in handling or braking performance.

Will the next generation Cayenne, which is arriving a few short months from now, take it up another notch?

According to the Jeep website, the SRT8 weighs 4819lbs. The crappiest Grand Cherokee 4*2 weighs 4216. So the weight difference between the ML and the SRt8 is only 200-400 lbs, not 1000 plus.

I guess that is for the 2007 - the 2006 weights about 4,700 pounds. o.k. . my mistake I should have worded that the ML weighs close to 400 pounds more than the jeep but the fact remains that I belive that the ML and turbo weight too much. and why are you picking on your little brother, be carefull the little brother might embarrash you

sorry
