we just went looking today and test drove a mercedes - benz m class SUV. i really liked it....but then again i am sure anyone would like a car like that!!

If you've got the $$$ to buy it, license it and insure it -- why not?

I've never had a real "luxury" car, but then again, I'm more the Porche type. I've always driven sports cars.

It's one of the best cars you can buy. Papa Munch has two (one of which was my HS car), and they do require a lot of maintenance and upkeep, as you'll want to take it to licensed M-B repairmen and use premium gasoline. But if you're good to it, it will be good to you. The nice thing about M-B is that they have a lot of different price ranges, from the C class (about 32K), to the S Class (115K). I don't know much about the C class (I guess it's a good starter car), and the M-class is okay.

I guess it all depends on how much you can afford. They have better gas mileage than any American car, even the SUV is better than comparable cars.

I want a lexus SUV fully stocked

Considering the fact that Mercedes has had a ton of troubles in the last few years and its quality has declined...well...

Oh and if you're buying a crappy class on a car it's ridiculous and people laugh. It screams i am sooooo infatuated with class and can't really afford it so i own a benz c/bmw 3/porsche boxter with no options.

I'm secretly in love with luxury towncars.
Sure, they gas guzzel in cities - but they are sooo smooth on the highway.

As far as Mercedes - the M class is a nice car, I'm more of a CLK fan myself; very nice cars.

Rudey's right - if you're going to buy a nice car, go for the best or don't go at all. No point just paying for the name.

I've driven many different luxury cars and can recommend a few things...i like benz', but if you're not gonna spend at least 70 k can. (50k u.s.) to start, don't bother. C class mercedez are not worth the price at all. Go out and get a different luxury brand for a cheaper price...You mentioned you like the suv, well to be honest with you I would say the mercedez SUV is one of the worst luxury products on the market. The car looks like a box and doesn't have the total package feel of the X5, and comparing it to the FX 35/45..soon to be 65 - hahahah, goodnight.

If you really have the bones to throw around and consider purchasing a benz, go out and get an AMG. The performance on those models is sickening. Complete car, they vary considerably in price - the cheapest model C32 AMG starts around 52, good car, mind you i'll take it's rival the M3 over that anyday

Personally, as much as i like German-made vechicles, i would take a long hard look at any infiniti car before i made my decision. That company is dominating, simply put, they are taking all the awards...

p.s. not sure if you're adverse to BMW or not, but the new 6 series are F%^*&#( stellar!

Speaking of expensive SUVs... has anyone seen the new Porsche Cayenne?


Ewww.... I guess it retails for some outragous price too.

[Peaches-n-Cream]

If you have the means, I highly suggest you get one.

I LOVE that SUV (and I hate SUV's). I just bought a BMW 330i convertible. I will pick it up this Thursday. I have never bought a luxury vehicle before but I felt like queen for a day at the dealership .

well Rudey-I like the BMW 3 class. I could have bought a 5 series but I wanted a convertible.

I personally think the 5 and 7 series BMW are way to big and I have no use for them.
