How are we going to use those 5.0+ engines / forced induction..especially in an SUV?

Take it to track? No.
On local roads? Maybe when entering highway
Use if for daily? No way. I've owned large engine (4.0+ L) cars, it realistically can't be used as daily, especially with this gas price.
Trips? yes, but a v6 3.0 will do the Exact same job for significantly less money on both car price and gas price
For the Looks? i believe Range Rover sports/Range Rovers look much better than any other SUVs on the market, just on the looks.
Actually, you do what I do, use your ML63 to trailer your "track" M3 to events.


You don't spend 90k on a big V8 to worry about gas prices. If you worry about gas prices then you buy smaller engine vehicles.
