ML 63 AMG 2008 model or the new Porsche Cayenne Turbo '07 model

i've decided to order one of these both and I just want to know your minds.
I must choose one of them i've driven both and i think by the
Porsche Cayenne Turbo is the drivefeeling a little bit better but the problem is
that it needs the turbo to fill up first before i can get the power of the engine,
by the ML you feel the power directly, help me to choose guys

I would suggest you to order an ML63,as its faster and in addition it will last longer due to the Cayenne Turbo being a facelift model and 2-3 years left until the next generation comes out.

If you search through the old threads you will find one from Dr D. Evo magazine tested the ML63 on a track vs the porche. The ML was quicker. 0-60, 1/4 mile and lap time I believe.
Quick as an M5 on that track. Faster than a SL65. 2 seconds slower than a 997. It costs less too. If you are actually going to go off road the porche would be a better choice. Apparently the porche interior is a little nicer too. I suspect that in the real world that they are for all practical purposes extremly close in capability. Which do you like the looks of better? Throw some nice wheels on the ML and lower it. Doesnt even look like the ML500 at all!
Either way you can't loose!

get the ML63 + sprintbooster plus you can get 8% off the ML & only a cup of coffee from Porsche (if you're lucky)

I have had both & the Turbo lag in the CT will drive you crazy if you know what the ML can do.

ML has grown on us as we were'nt too keen in the beginning, typical MBisms.

Very happy with it no though

I suggest you can the ML63. The reason I say this is because where I live, I see way too many Cayennes so its not a special car to me. The ML63 seems more unique

has anyone driven a Porsche Cayenne turbo the facelift model? the feeling is a little bit better i think or?

I would save a little cash and get the Jeep SRT 8...unfortunately both of these cars depreciate faster than you can drive them off the lot...if I had to choose though, I'd go with the '08 ML63

The Jeep is great if money is an issue. If it isn't then its not really in the Porsche/ML63 category. Its been specifically built for 0-60 and off-ramps and a pricepoint. SRT and Jeep could have easily finessed it but then it wouldn't meet the pricepoint. Suspension isn't ideal for long drives and bumpy curves.

sirees01

one important point you should consider!

Cayenne with PDCC will knock spots of the ML when cornering at high speed.
It all depends how you intend to drive either beast.

The Cayenne TURBO is a work of art.I got an 05 turbo S (special order-Fully equipped- Full CF-Rare factory bodykit). It drives just like a car and its fast as hell. There is no stock suv that will beat it. The only thing I hate about it, Is not feeling the speed at high mph, and poor service at the dealership. Its my no. 1 choice out of all the Suvs Ive owned. IMO It has better speed, handling and Elegance than the ML.

I’ve owned the 04 TT with power kit for over two years it was an amazing truck, the only two issues were, the turbo lag and weight. Now I have ML63 with “sprintbooster” upgrade and let me tell you ,this track feels very light and it definitely faster then my old C.TT.. Also ML63 new on board computer and the speedshift transmission are way more advance…I love Porsches and believe me as soon as they come up with the new model in 2010 I well be the first one on list, For now after owning two of them I choose the Mercedes..

sezer1986

Yes thats what i'm saying samssonz the drive feeling and high speed. does anyone knows how much the highspeed from the ML 63 and from the Cayenne Turbo ?

thanks for your comments

AMG_55

the benz
n/a > f/i

plus, imo, it looks better

xxwhookiddxx

i think the ml 63 is badd *** . . . . you should definitly get 1

sezer1986

but i like mercedes more than Porsche cayenne i think i'm gonna take the AMG and guys where can i get this sprintbooster you are always talking about ?

SAMSSONZ

I would take the ml over the turbo but not the turbo S but then again The turbo S costs 30gs more if well equipped. Go with the ml. Its a nice car too.

SAMSSONZ

The sprint booster comes from a company in greece. Just google it.

sezer1986

ok thanks i think i'm gonna take the ML 63 to 70 %

sezer1986

OK! Guys i've decided with my wife to place an Order for my
ML 63 AMG '08 but the dealer told me that it would take 6 - 8 months untill i get my new ride how long did your cars take to deliver?

Whoopsy

Ordered mine in June, too delivery end of Nov. It was a late Sept production.

SAMSSONZ

congrats but its too bad for the wait. Theres a bunch of em' at the dealerships here in the states but those are 07s. Im sure it wont be that long though. 6-8 months is a long time.

sezer1986

yeah it's a long time to wait, he tolt me that it's gonna be a 2008 model is anything changed by the 08 model or why they've asked me? hmmmmm

ML looks better although the facelift did good for the Cayenne. As an offroader the Cayenne is superior. The ML is probably faster, but some magazines said the Cayenne handles better at high speeds. Porsche build quality is better and it uses less gas.

I love the ML's looks and would therefore go for the ML 63, but I think the more reasonable choice is the Cayenne Turbo.

Nice comparison video:

NO, I highly doubt it. Maybe the tail lights will hav more of a clear lens but body wise, definetly not. Arent you in germany, I would go to the factory and ask them myself. Dealerships dont know **** over there too?

Whoopsy

Than the old Cayenne Turbo, not the ML63. Porsche claims 10-15% better than the old one.

My ML63 is doing around 19l/100km, ie 13mpg. Best I can do in the old Cayenne Turbo on the same route, same rate of acceleration and pace of movement 26l/100km, ie 9mpg. Porsche might beg to differs but my numbers are realworld driving instead of the stupid EPA cycle.
