But the fuel mileage is only part of it. The torque is amazing. It has 400 pounds of it, so when the ML320 gets going, it really flies. The only engine available in the M-series with more torque is their AMG V8. The ML320 is a 3.0 V6 turbo.

Regardless, I have no doubt the ML could give my 911 a run for its money up to 60mph.

You're going to love the ML320.

One word of advice if you buy one: in the very latest Bluetec model they have elmininated the spare tire (because that's where the urea tank—affectionately known as the 'pi$$ tank' in MB circles—goes). Instead you have run-flat tires, which are not widely available and stupidly expensive to replace. So I would look for a 2007 or 2008 pre-blutec model. There are still plenty around—at least in these parts.

But they're brilliant cars. You won't be disappointed.
