Wimmer you know exactly how the Q7 is better off road than the X5?
Have you read any tests between their of road capabilities already in Germany? I haven't yet, and I'd love to read a few.
Maybe the Q7 is better off road than the E53, but better than the E70??

As for the ML....I can imagine it is better off road. It simply looks better for off road somehow. More compact or something.
