That Merc is a slipper y slope.
My brother in law bought one then a ML500.
Now he has an AMG GL500.
He loaned me the ML500 for a week.
They are much better than a vehicle that big should be.
Surprisingly good off road too.

My wife has the ML320CDI Drives well , able to get to the snow and back using only 8.5l/100km with four adults, back fully packed with bags and roof box full of ski gear. Gets around 12l around town and has huge torque ( 510nM). Wish the Rx8 had only half that torque figure.

rev it up

The ML 280 turbo diesel does not have quite that much power however it seems more than adequate. I took it around a narrow twisty uphill road and I had all four wheels off the road.
It seems quite nimble for its size. I understand there are tuners such as Brabus that sell upgrade chips that increase the power output.
