re: "..."soft" SUV's ... some examples being the ... Mercedes ML class (not to be confused with the Gelendewagon G-class or Unimogs),...."

As a Gelaendewagen owner (the original, spartan variety, W460), I appreciated your not lumping my 280GE in with the rest. This baby (it's a gray-market 1984 280GE with a custom rebuilt, high-compression engine) still turns heads. We park it on a street in a tourist town on vacation, and passers-by still drop their jaw when they walk by (they mutter things like, "this looks like it belongs on an african safari", or, "this looks like it served in WWII", etc.). The newer "officially sold in the USA" GWagens are too prissy, really!
Of course, my main use of it is for towing my sailboats -- the front and rear lockable diffs really work nicely on the slipperiest launch ramps!

Best regards,
