X6M just destroyed it, and I knew it would.

That said, it surprised me when the editors mentioned how the AMG has the best electric steering theyve driven so far. An all wheel drive, broadly tired Mercedes has better electric steering than Porsche? Wow. If its true, BMW has to step up their game!

I really enjoyed that review. It was one of the funniest reviews I have seen and man the X6M is really fast. I just wish it wasn't so ugly.

The drag race between the GLE and ZL1 was impressive. Even more impressive was that the X6M driver filmed the race using a selfie stick.

Motor trend always has my favorite reviews (save for nick Murray)

Glad to see they finally did one on these!

I do, however, think the Merc is far better looking

Loved this review! Him being so happy about the craziness put a smile on my face as well!

Love the X6M, that includes the sound! If you want that wake up the dead sound put an eisenmann or something on it like Mercedes do out of the box!

I don't have a problem with the X5/X6M being faster than the M3 because of how BMW as a company is currently setup and considering the overall automotive landscape. The X5/X6M have basically become development vehicles for M cars and if these massive tanks help make the M5 and M3 better, I'm all for it.

Given that I have ordered the x5m, I don't mind it being faster either!

I know I'm in the minority here, but I think the Merc looks really good in person. Haven't seen an X6M up close to compare it to, but this exact AMG GLE was at a local Cars and Coffee several weeks ago (still sporting the U-GLE badge) and it looked seriously impressive.
