the ML 63 was a little too much out of my budget for a car. i could have swung it but it just didn't seem right and it was a 4 month wait for one anyway

so I had to choose between a ml500 and ml350. the 350 wasn't bad - but it was just too little power compared to the FX45 i had before. I would have been winning for 3 years about it. the ml500 was better but it STILL didn't go as fast as the fx45 so i figgured i'd be winning more if i paid more for it than a fx45 and went slower with the same gas milage. the ml320 deisel had more power than the 350 - less than the 500 but it's almost 40mpg so somehow that makes me feel better about sacfificing the mileage. love the interrior and exterior of the suv.

have to wait 5 weeks to get it though - they are giving me a loaner in the interm while i wait - find out on mon what i get.
