回复：区别根本不在off road能力，在于操控舒适动力品牌效应。

OK, my bad to claim that ML is better for serious offroad.

Since they are both city crossover. Then onroad
comfortability is the main concern.

According to my knowledge, Germain style prefer to have
stiffer suspension and more sports oriented. So to
a street racer, it is much better than softer Lexus.

But I believe most drivers, especially ladies
do not drive crazy on the street, such as making left
turn at more than 50 mph. What they really want
is a comfortable, quite ride.

So in this case, I personally think may be Lexus
is a better choice.

Tis lady already claimed she already personally prefer to have a Lexus. Then I guess she should get a Lexus
instead of Benz.
