Sure, you can get sticker shock at the gas station, but you don't have to give up your sport-utility vehicle. You don't even have to give up the carlike luxury trimmings you've come to expect as part of the SUV experience. That's what the 2009 Mercedes-Benz ML320 Bluetec and 2008 Lexus RX 400h ar
e meant for. Or maybe you're looking to make a political statement. Those on the right-hand side of the aisle might want to use less imported oil, while left-leaning types just want to use less oil, period. And what better way to represent your social consciousness than with the SUV you drive? In
fact, this comparison is all about the debate. Once you commit to a greener way of life with a sport-utility, which is the better choice, diesel or hybrid? 2009 Mercedes-Benz ML320 Bluetec or 2008 Lexus RX 400h?

I had a friend who
´s parents used to own a 99 Lexus &%$&%$. :rolleyes: It all depends the treatment you gave to your car, believe me that. I respect Lexus with this Tec, but I would prefer a Diesel Merc engine...

Lexus winning the match is an obvious result
You need to take a ... ( 1 month ago by HondaJapanPride)
You need to take a look at reliability as well, when you buy a vehicle. And because of that, Mercedes can never reach my eye sight.
Oh hell, sounds a ... ( 1 month ago by HondaJapanPride)
Oh hell, sounds a lot like mine. I've owned 99 BMW 3 series E46 and this is supposed to be the most reliable BMW car in history and yet, it still was crap as hell. Wipers don't work sometimes(Actually most of the time), heater makes super annoying noise, and turns into an air conditioner after the use for an hour, and the car one time died on the road.
and now my 2002 Honda Civic works everything fine...I feel like I've been seening nightmares before. I will never own an Euro AGAIN.
I dont think this ... ( 1 month ago by Carpower123)
I dont think this Lexus will be so reliable as you may think... lets see in future cases.
That's merely your ... ( 1 month ago by HondaJapanPride)
That's merely your wish. Lexus has produced a hybrid super saloon called Lexus LS, and it still is remained to be the most reliable super saloon in the entire planet.
So what honestly makes you think that this Lexus will not be reliable?
Consumer reports ... ( 1 month ago by wallstreetjournal82)
Consumer reports april 2008: LEXUS LS460 overall road-test score 99, Mercedes S550 86, AUDI A8 L 77, JAGUAR XJ8 76.

How many years is it on the market (LS) ? I dont care, my father had a diesel merc and after 623458km we have done the overhaul of the car. You are only talking about electric stuff, what about the engine, huh?
LS has been out ... ( 1 month ago by HondaJapanPride)
LS has been out since the beginning of Lexus. Approx 19 years.
Engine? What about the engine? You mean reliability? It is as reliable as any Toyota cars. You have no clue what you can do with the Lexus LS engine. Lexus IS-F engine is basically a cooked up version of Lexus LS engine, and it is beast fast. When LS sounds more like a gentleman, IS-F is more li
ke a performance car. But LS still also can perform.

You are a dumbass, the Mercedes scored 4 stars out of 5 in reliability, which is above average, so please...
Lexus cant match Mercedes
''Lexus won this. ... ( 1 week ago by maxou5757)
''Lexus won this. Mercedes is so unreliable.''
WRONG. You have no ideas of what you are talking about.
The Mercedes is ... ( 1 week ago by maxou5757)
The Mercedes is reliable, more luxurious, has more equipment, better acceleration at higher speed or at low rev, you can tow A LOT MORE, you can go off road(the RX cant), its highway fuel economy is the same as the RX and its overall cruising range is superior, bigger tires, better build and stronger.
Ok the ML might not be quite as fuel-efficient as the RX in town, but why dont you take a Jetta TDI if the only thing you care about is fuel efficienty ? True SUV = ML Joke = RX
lol. What a nubcake ... ( 1 week ago by Toyotaminivans)
lol. What a nubcake Do you know how unreliable the S class is? The ML class also has subpar reliability. LEXUS HAS WON THE INITIAL QUALITY AWARD FOR 14 YEARS STRAIGHT . I'd like to see Mercedes outdo that!
jdpower(DOT)com/ ... ( 1 week ago by maxou5757)
jdpower(DOT)com/autos/Mercedes/M-Class/2009/SUV/ratings
Predicted Reliability: 4/5 4 stars is above average which is very good, who gives a shit if your car has perfect reliability ? You dont keep your car 20 years... also, the Benz engine is better than the RX
jdpower(DOT)com/ ... ( 1 week ago by maxou5757)
jdpower(DOT)com/autos/Mercedes/S-Class/2009/Sedan/ratings
Again, predicted reliability of 4/5 for the S class, you dont know shit about cars man.
The Mercedes is ... ( 1 week ago by alfaromeo1986)
The Mercedes is better, but the Lexus is much more reliable!I think that, the real SUV is the Lexus, the Mercedes is more than simple SUV. The mercedes is like a sporty wagon with AWD system, but the ML 320 CDI has better fuel economy, especially at high speeds.(80MPH+)
wow, even in the ... ( 1 week ago by 4MATICbenz)
wow, even in the most feminine color available, the Mercedes ML still looks more rugged and sporty than the RX. Come on, the Mercedes ML scored excellent in initial quality and also, reliability of the ML has improved to "average" according to CR. Also, this is the bluetec diesel model, which is sure to outlast a normal Mercedes engine.
The Lexus is reliable and comfortable, but just too bland and boring. The Mercedes actually has some SUV character to it. Id easily take the ML over the RX
agreed 100% ( 1 week ago by 4MATICbenz)

Also, i never ... ( 1 week ago by 4MATICbenz)
Also, i never understood automakers attempting to make fuel-efficient SUVs. Thats almost as pointless as giving an obese person a make-over. Sure they'll look better but theyre still fat. Same in this case, yeah it gets decent mpg's.......for an SUV. if any of you watching this video want a practical utility vehicle with good fuel economy, check out some new station wagons. (Dodge magnum, Subaru Legacy, Volvo V70, VW Passat, and BMW 3-series) all get more mpg, equal utility, and cost less.
thats absolute ... ( 6 days ago by samsemtex)
thats absolute bullshit. 90% of american fuel stations now have diesel pumps, that is a fact. Also, where do you think trucks buy their fuel?
And how is bluetec in anyway supposed to be hybrid technology? Its a clean diesel engine. Nothing more, nothing less.
oh yeah and the ML ... ( 6 days ago by samsemtex)
oh yeah and the ML actually has real off road capabilities unlike the RS which is basically a jacked up car.
