I actually really like the front, but the rear is minging. So obvious they were trying to emulate the X6; will be interesting to see the initial sales figures.

That's the thing- i bet it will do really well because it has a Merc badge stuck on it, and people love that in 3rd world countries.
For example, in India / Indian culture, people look up to Mercs as the ultimate status symbol, and don't attach half the prestige of that to BMW, Audi, etc
That's why you'll see a lot of Base spec E220 diesels driven by middle aged indian men; its something we can take to Indian weddings to show off, but still very economical as it was never bought for driving pleasure in the first place.

Mercedes are above BMW and Audi through, hence the latter are used by so many reps.

When we looked at Mercs before getting X6, their showroom was the plushest with the best selection of beverages
and a special children's area so that tells you something
