Cars: Who the heck buys the Merc ML63 AMG?

OK — not a real review, as I refuse to drive this thing — but who the hell spends the money on this Mini-Van looking AMG?
I understand everything Mercedes poured into this ugly monster to make it fast; “the performance SUV” claims Mercedes — but oh my god you look like a tool driving it. Some guy in the Golden Gate Bridge was in front of me in one of these, I had to pull up along-side and see who the hell would spend $95k on 500+HP of ugly. Yup, he was wearing the biggest, gaudiest USB Headset you can imagine on his left (road-noise side) ear: total tool confirmation.
Have any of you driven this? I’m reading 503HP and 0-60 of 4.8. Thats impressive but wouldn’t an M5 seat your family, drive better and look less like a Plymouth mini-van?
If you have to drive one, make it the Porsche Cayenne twin turbo please.
I saw one on the autobahn the other day. didn’t catch a glimpse of the person in it but it overtook me and I was going about 220km/h, which is what we’d here consider fast but not outrageously so. wonder how much fuel that cost the guy.
usually it’s middle management salesguys who buy these things here. road warriors who spend half their day on the various autobahnen. the same crowd buys the s6 or m5 a lot.
He had a USB headset? Why would someone be using a USB headset in a car? Was he running a mobile call center for tech support?
Or do you mean BlueTooth headset. Seems like your the tool.
I haven’t read many of your posts, and I know I won’t, but it sure does seem like all you like to do is complain.
