Cushy, Coddling, Comfort: A German Perspective

So does anyone else think rear looks worse than the rear of the car it is replacing? The new Mercedes-Benz ML puts Mercedes in a strange position; the current ML is selling like hotcakes. They are replacing a car that arguably doesn't really need to be replaced yet. Not only that, but this thing's butt isn't really a work of art. The ML is a luxury vehicle through and through. It has a leather-swathed interior with wood galore. It is a vehicle that is quiet and soft enough to put a baby to sleep. This will probably go over well as a family hauler, but Mercedes has totally alienated buyers searching for something with at least a hint of personality or excitement. Unfortunately for this car, its as athletic as its hind is appealing.
