Bottom Line:
ML320 is a stylish, sophisticated SUV that's truck like enough to be taken seriously -- if you ever do take it off road. Read More

The New Bimmer?

Author's Rating:

Pros: A very well mannered European sports sedan.

Cons: Price swells over 40K when you add the essential toys. So what it's worth it!

Bottom Line:
It's main competition is the BMW3, the Audi A4 and maybe the G35. They all have stronger and weaker points but none offer the complete package like this one does! Read More
