Thanks for posting the comparison. It makes the new X5 look stunning in contrast to my comments on an earlier thread..
X5 has an uncanny resemblance to the 2014 Highlander, in profile at least. Would like to see a photo comparison to that.

I can't believe they haven't rushed a facelift on the new ML. It hasn't grown on me, it's hideous, looks like a Chinese knockoff of a Mercedes, rather than a Merc itself. Slab sided, blunt nosed, visually too tall with no ground effects just perched on its wheels. Just looks unstable.

To bad about the X5 rear end (girlie looking like an X1), the rest is growing on me quickly, but E70 still wins for its dynamic, planted and sporting looks. Current crop of SUVs look like smoothed over front wheel drive economy brand crossovers.
