Mercedes looks nice but, the Porsche is the King. To bad is so expensive

I would still pick X6 because of performance and price.

MB hasn't resolved the GLE view look from the back - just looks like a bloated sedan. Those tail lights - trunk reminds me of a Hyundai Sonata (not exactly but the aethetics)

MB black plastic rear 1/4 the way up looks very cheap. It’s even on the AMG. Performance is just not there with any of the MB. Plastic leather is standard in the MB with only being able to option up to Napa leather. No Bueno. Porsche use of low rent plastic isn’t much better in the interior. Way over priced for what it is. BMW is just ticking all the right boxes in this crop of SUV’s.

I was speaking in terms of material quality, minivan angled shifter, and the way it's all laid out (uncovered cup holders too )

My two cents, objectively speaking:

- The merc has an ugly butt, even more than the starting-to-grow-on-me X6 rear-end. The reason why it's so ugly is because it's literally an egg-shape, no sharp ends and details like the X6.
- The front end however is good looking. I think it looks better than the X6.
- I really dislike the way Mercedes made their new interiors. I see no point in the a/c vent kinda looking part on the side of the screen, even if it does have functionality. The X6 has an overall simpler but sleekier interior.
- The Porsche Cayenne Coupe would win against these two, looks-wise, no question. It's just too damn expensive. You could basically get a fully (absolutely fully) loaded new-gen X6M with individual specs (you could guess the pricing based on previous generations) for less than a medium spec cayenne turbo coupe, which is not even the top model.

Going back to these two I think the real judgement will be based on how the X6M and GLE63s coupe eventually pan out. That said, I'd take the X6 over the GLE C anyday.
