Well, I couldn't talk my father into an FX45... He's seen the light, though, and will be selling his Escabling. He's narrowed it down to the three mentioned in the topic line - Cayenne S, X5 4.4i, and ML500.
So he asked me what I liked best... And I had a hard time coming up with an answer. I said that I personally would probably skip the ML500 and go with the Cayenne or the X5 for better handling/feel. And the possibility of quality problems - MB has been slipping lately, and this is the first year for the new ML... Makes it hard to recommend.
I guess that I'd personally go with the X5 for a better sporting feel - those Cayenne are just so heavy. But he's a Porsche guy (Carrera S next to the Escabling in the garage), so I assume he's leaning towards the Cayenne.
Thoughts from the FX.org crowd? Oh, and don't say get a Cayenne Turbo. I lobbied hard, but he's not game. Hahahah.
