Can somebody name a vehicle that ISN'T a dime-a-dozen in California??
Luckily, I don't live there so it doesn't matter ......
Let's look at the facts (and pretend that the federal tax code REQUIRES you to buy an SUV):
Handbuilt Aluminum Engine by AMG in Germany
0-60 = 6.24 seconds (faster than Cayenne S)
Top End = 147 (electronically limited)
13.5 inch vented discs
Faster than an X5/4.6 from 0-100mph
I've driven the Cayenne S and the X5. Both are acceptable. I don't really like the styling of either, or the ML55 for that matter! But I do like the concept behind the AMG (i.e. stuff a hot rod motor in a mid-size SUV). It's much more than a cosmetic package. Besides, what else is there?
