Kinght, mercedes has 2 models i believe ML340 and ML430. 340 is V6 and costs around 33-38K while 430 is V8 with 38-43k {if u include navigation} although mercedes has nice set of cars. SUV sucks...... i drove it for some time and found that its handling is not as responsive as JEEP or even X3 or X5. Some how I fell for JEEP. and that was long time ago. and still my opinion has not changed. Grnd Cherokee is the best (O: . that's my opinion. if u r looking for a smaller one go for RAV4. once upon a time i owned that too. ====================================================
