evo, that merc looks absolutely ridiculous.

I would laugh out loud if i saw that merc, in fact i would follow it just to see what sort of a loser would drive it (mid-life crisis IT manager I would imagine )

from the front it looks okay but side on??

ML is has potential, needs to be a bit lower, But looks the part.

When u have a dog as big as mine etc, it nice to have a confy car, i can keeping the Daft Hard ride for when im in the Sierra.

I just found after using my Dads for a few days, How lazy driving can become

Merc if you already have a 3 door and a Scooby

I'm sure the driver would value your opinion when he looked in his mirror and saw your 20 year old white Escort

Ok, ive had loads of cars including all the cars you've mentioned above (i.e the 3 door, wrx, ML, evo) & the worst one i've ever owned was the ML! What an absolute piece of fuckin crap! I always wanted one ever since i saw it at the motorshow so i went & bought one & had it for 6 weeks & had to get rid!!
They're just boring - propper boring (especially if like me you've always had performance cars which i think you have).

The evo's the much better choice imo & im not just saying that cos ive got one as i might be selling mine very soon.

hope that helps.

would rather choose a new range rover or land cruiser than an ml, sounds like you have enough performance toys to keep you happy. That Ml looks like a crack dealers car, fine if thats the look your after

What is it with all these overpriced vans????
I'd have thought the novelty would have worn off by now
I don't get how anybody can compare that with the EVO in the same breath???

Its not comparing. I have a BIG Dog and a Kid, They are both around the same price

People are 50/50 what they like.

The EVO Cause ive always wanted one

The ML as i THOUGHT it looked good.

Rang Rovers/M5 etc are alot more cash than the ML

Its either the ML or summit like a Audi estate etc. I reckon the THAT ML looks better than most AVERAGE audi's etc.


Ml looks like a crack dealers car
whats wrong with dealing in crack?

I'd flog the WRX, get the Evo and put the balance of the money back in the bank - not a fan of "fashion" 4x4's myself !

merc not only looks shit but previous owners say they are shit

Must be A MASSIVE price difference in the merc and the evo7
You can pick up a evo 7 for under 15k i would have thought the merc would be double that?
