It's a dumb reason to avoid an otherwise good vehicle, but I just can't get past the Acura beak.

Erin Agrees with you....beak hurts.....you can minimize it on the Grey/Silver though.

So why not get a fully-optioned Pilot Touring? More rugged looking, but at least not ugly.

I would wait a few years for the twin turbo 6's to rack up some miles and prove themselves. Brand new engine family is bound to have some kinks to work out.

I think you need to step up to a GL to get a Merc with the third row.

Unless you are one of those rare few who actually find the R-class remotely attractive

My vote still stands with the MDX.
attractive or not the packaging on the R-class just doesn't work for me.

on the GL, not cheap to buy and not cheap to own but oddly a satisfying ownership experience.
I just did 400 miles in my ML with 183K+ on it.
Still drives great and is tighter than many american cars new.
