well, i guess i'll be the outlier here...i like it...i think it looks decent, modern (in terms of tech features), and from the sounds of it, actually provides a premium feel (which it should, since it's an MB product)...factor in a nicely equipped AWD version should be around $40k, i'd imagine they'll move these quite well...the only knock may be reliability as they haven't been the best lately, but perhaps some of the new stuff will be better...we'll see.
