Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG Reviews
This is really a cannon ball, lot of fun to drive, strong motor, little torque at low rpm though. Super exhaust sound, drives and corners like a race car half that weight. Sad that a car with such a price tag does not come with Xenon lights if not ordered as option. Also the radio/CD Comand car stereo has no I-Phone connector, no blu tooth, and the resolution of the screen is poor.

Maybe the little sophisticated phone connectivity (I-Phone) is a hidden safety feature ....
