W166 ML63 vs new Jeep SRT8

Maybe a hollow victory as the ML is much more expensive, but I didn't know the gap was that large!

IMO, No offense to Jeep but it can't be compared to an Mb in terms of luxury. ( btw I owned a jeep v8 4.7 for a few years)

Sure for the money vs performance, the jeep srt can' t be beaten...
However, the Mb might be more expensive but in terms of technology, It's on a different level...

Agreed. I have a 2009 SRT8 and am about to trade for a W163 ML63. In terms of performance, they both feel very similar, but the Mb is sooooo much more refined, and the power delivery feels much smoother, compared to the rough delivery of the HEMI.

Having said that, I have the SRT for 2 years, and it always brought a smila to my face.
