    Haha, Fiat cars are really that bad.

    I cant believe that people buy them, amazingly their sales last year increased 14% in Italy!

    I think only Italians buy them though.

    If you like your car to be efficient, reliable and cheap to buy and run you have to go Japanese.

    The news of the VW group aiming at competing directly with Toyota is almost a joke to me.



    It really depends on what car you get. Some of the same makes as mine are still driving around flawlessly today with less issues than any Honda. That Japanese cars are bulletproof is, in my opinion, a myth.

    Hi Mike, I thought you might enjoy this little vid I made of my ML63. It really is a lot of fun to peddle quickly. I still miss my X5 4.8is which was a more fluid handler and the better for steering, but performance wise it was very different.

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for the vid! I am glad I got rid of my X5 4.8iS - I thought that car was the biggest POS I've ever bought. Very uncomfortable and I always got back aches when I drove it.

    I am almost finished running the ML in, can't wait to floor it!

    Re: Range Rover gone, it's replacement...

    Can someone tell me if the ML63 is build in Alabama like the rest or Germany? I went to a AMG dealership yesterday and this car looks so good that I am tempted to put an order in for one!
