That Audi looks bad ass

**spasmo** · 09-16-2006, 04:01 PM

I'm leaning toward the Audi as well. I don't like the Mercedes at all though.

**SubSonic** · 09-16-2006, 04:01 PM

I'd go with the Q7

**Sosa** · 09-16-2006, 04:02 PM

i don't like how the audi looks

**X37375787** · 09-16-2006, 04:05 PM

The Cayenne is hideous in my opinion. I'd go with the Q7.

**Nubiles** · 09-16-2006, 04:05 PM

Go for the Cayenne Turbo!!!!

**Ice** · 09-16-2006, 04:08 PM

I like the Audi

**the alchemist** · 09-16-2006, 04:10 PM

I've had an Ml350 for over 3 years now.Other than one dealer related issue with the brakes it's been good in the snow and a decent winter vehicle for Wisconsin.I test drove the Audi and the Cayenne today.The Cayenne handles the best of the three.The Audi is a bit larger than the other two.But I like the styling.The ML350 hasn't changed much in 3 years.Only major thing was they moved the shifter from the console to the tree.Not a bad thing actually.

A class mate of mine is an engineer working for Daimler Benz. We talked about the ML a couple of days ago. He told me that the new model has changed technical and is much better as the old one was.

I prefer the Audi, because I think it´s more stylish, whatever it is.

The Mercedes, in black

**xLaborJames** · 09-16-2006, 04:20 PM

I love the Porsche.

**Minte** · 09-16-2006, 04:21 PM

The only negative about the Audi,was that it felt a lot more like a truck than the other two did.

I've got a black MB E55 now for my nice weather daily.Another black Mercedes for a winter car would be a nightmare to keep clean here.The road crews use a ton of salt on the roads.

**Andiz** · 09-16-2006, 04:36 PM

The Audi Q7.......

Yeah, I know how those salty/sandy winters can be

White is great too. Even if its dirty, it can pass for off white

We have a burgandy mercedes (Just a C320) but I wish it was black instead. No more impulsive shopping! lol

**Paparazzi** · 09-16-2006, 05:03 PM

I would get this one instead

**squishypimp** · 09-16-2006, 05:08 PM

get the porche

**DateDoc** · 09-16-2006, 05:27 PM

I think the Audi for room and looks is the winner without a doubt.

**Jenny S.** · 09-16-2006, 06:10 PM

I like all Mercedes' except the ML, it just doesn't feel a solid as the others.

What about a Mercedes G 500? Fast on the highway, rock solid, and it outperforms a Hummer offroad any day.

If I didn't live in snow country and have a daily 20 mile country road commute,I wouldn't own an suv at all.In the 3 years the ML350 only has 16k miles on it.It's one of those necessary evils here.

I'm liking the Q7

**Doctor Dre** · 09-16-2006, 09:55 PM

Owww man this is a though choice. I think I'd go with the cayenne but maybe with the audi. I'd have to test drive.

**tehHinjew** · 09-16-2006, 09:56 PM

cayane turbo rocks but id go with something more gangster like the volvo that was posted(good taste dude) or an x5

**Vitasoy** · 09-17-2006, 12:42 AM

cayane turbo, would be my choice

**martinsc** · 09-17-2006, 12:50 AM

i like the Audi

**BlueDesignStudios** · 09-17-2006, 01:13 AM

Audi seems like a good choice!

**Nylz** · 09-17-2006, 01:31 AM

Audi Q7, for sure..

**Minte** · 09-17-2006, 04:59 AM

I'm surprised at how many of you guys prefer the Audi.Is it based totally on styling? I think on a snowy/icy road the Audi could be a handful to control if/when you start sliding around.It did not feel nimble at all.

**Jakke PNG** · 09-17-2006, 05:01 AM

I would get the audi out of those.

But I'd give a thought to the VW and Volvo too.

**the source** · 09-17-2006, 05:03 AM

Audi Audi Audi !

We have a local dealership that sells Porsche,BMW,Mercedes and Audi all under one roof.Over the years I have bought a lot of cars from them and always get the best deal there.I like the Volvo and the Toureg.Just not enough to *break in* a new dealership.

**Jakke PNG** · 09-17-2006, 05:07 AM

Ahh ok, usually (in europe atleast) VW and audi's are sold at the same place. They're both really from the VW company, aren't they?

**djroof** · 09-17-2006, 05:08 AM

Cayenne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**timberlands** · 09-17-2006, 05:51 AM

all ugly

They are SUV's...they are not supposed to look good.
They are supposed to function.

**tehHinjew** · 09-17-2006, 11:31 AM

**LadyMischief** · 09-17-2006, 11:40 AM

The Quattro in the Audi is incredible in the winter

**Machete_** · 09-17-2006, 11:41 AM

If you buy it for the snow, the Audi is what you want. The Way the differential work on it makes it lightyears ahead of the two others as soon as you are one a slippery surface. The two others four wheel drive setup is made for dry road handeling, and is worthless in the snow. I would stear clear of the ML. A friend of mine runs a VIP guard company and they have bought those since the first model came out and until the new one this year. They have had nothing but trouble with it. But they have to buy the Mercedes, because that is what their customers expect them to drive.

If I should buy something new, It would be a Toyota or Lexus. They might not be pretty or modern, but if you try them, you would know why I reccomend them. The quality is second to none

**Trax** · 09-17-2006, 11:43 AM

I am very satisfied with my cayenne
i dont have to tell you how much porsche owners love their cars - you should know first hand
this car is flawless... i have yet to find one (I am not counting a high gas consumption a flaw)

**blackdog** · 09-17-2006, 11:52 AM

I have Ford ThunderBird.
People, its the best for fucking backseat of this car

Audi is my choice.

**buddyjuf** · 09-17-2006, 12:12 PM

I saw the audi the other day

SOOO sexy, but I have no idea how it performs/reliability

**Pimpin_J** · 09-17-2006, 12:13 PM

Mercedes is the way to go!

Or check out the new X3, it got a little redesign. Dunno if they redesigned the X5 too, but the new X3 looks bad ass!

**E$_manager** · 09-17-2006, 12:13 PM

Audie must be good for the snowtime.

My sister just traded her X3 in for the X5.She found the X3 to be very rough riding,and too small for her needs.When she got the X5,I took it off my short list.

**sharp** · 09-17-2006, 12:37 PM

Not the Audi.

**asdfqwer** · 09-17-2006, 12:38 PM

Mercedes if you are going to ride it mostly outside of the the city,Porsche for fast city drive

Time for a new winter ride.Porsche,Mercedes or Audi?
