Re: Just added a MB to the garage...

I love the QX's. My dad had a 10, and now has a 12 and yea the looks are polarizing, but if you get it with the stock 20's as opposed to 22's the ride is the nicest I've ever experienced and with that bird eye view camera, it's easier to park than just about anything. The interior is worlds ahead of the Escalade and Land Cruiser as well.. Very nice buy on the GL. I've ridden in a 550, and it was nice but that 3rd row isn't the biggest.

I'm pretty sure you care far too much about appearance and what people think because the QX is the kind of thing some ghetto rapper aspires to own with everyone nonsense styling cue tacked onto an otherwise generic and bulbous body.

For the record, I actually gave that car away after having a little fun with it. If you do a little more searching, you'll discover I actually drive an '08 350 and a 2012 4-Runner.

Have you ever driven one? Or are you just speculating? I only say that because I think it is well planted, as do many of its reviewers. I drove it through the mountains of NC last week and it handled very well. Are you a hondafag? Just wondering.

I mean at lower speeds turning, or making small adjustments in a straight line. you have to get pretty well into a corner and push the gas more than you'd think is right for a 6,500 pound vehicle for it to feel planted.

and don't you think that my description was a little specific for me to be a speculative hondafag? don't write everyone off. i love the thing, minus that one complaint i've listed. i wouldn't want to put gas in it, though.

I just thought you were speculating because I couldn't imagine someone who had actually driven one to make that comment.
