Re: Big Boy BENZ Battle! (G,GL,R and ML)

G- i love it..its just so old school and hot..give me a G55
ML- had a hard time to choose between this and the G.. so a solid second place..just cause the G is such an icon..
GL-- lovely car.. but to large for me..
R-- Vans isnt my deal.. but as far as vans go..it rocks..

Re: Big Boy BENZ Battle! (G,GL,R and ML)

My choice: Mercedes-Benz GL

Reason: The size and ability of this vehicle. I also love it's looks from the grill to the tail lights. Interior is very clean cut as well

Re: Big Boy BENZ Battle! (G,GL,R and ML)

4th - R: Still don't like the exterior design of the R, nor the concept of it (idea). Looks like a big wagon and an ugly one at that (IMO anyways)

3th - G: The G-Class will be the second which I strike from my list. While I think the exterior design is still pretty funky, to be frank, I find it quite poser.

2nd and 1st

So then, that leaves the GL and the ML. Honestly, I think the GL might be a couple of sizes too big for my needs, but I still have an affection for it. I'm tempted, but the size.. So then, the ML is my choice.

Preferably a ML320 CDI (my uncle has one, it's kick ass!)

Re: Big Boy BENZ Battle! (G,GL,R and ML)

ML for me. After my recent runins with the ML63 AMG that lives in my neighborhood, I can't imagine a nicer, more capable SUV. It's very nice looking as well.

Of course, intended use would come into play. I'm guessing that most SUV owner's aren't doing much off-roading anyway. So, give me the ML AMG variant. I'll get a set of winter wheels and tires and have one of the fastest, nicest SUVs on earth...

Re: Big Boy BENZ Battle! (G,GL,R and ML)

To be honest I'm not that fond of any of these cars except the G-wagon. If I wanted a big luxury car with a huge boot I would by no other car than the Range Rover(non sport)

Re: Big Boy BENZ Battle! (G,GL,R and ML)

I'm actually a really big fan of the ML... I think that stems back from when the ML was used in The Lost World. But I like the way it's a nice cross between a truck and luxury.
