Bought the new ML500 loaded
Just pulled the trigger, will get it on Wednesday. I will give you, if you are interested, the full report of it later...although you already heard it today.
I have never been so impressed by a car.

I will as soon as I get the car. You need to take this vehicle for a test drive and learn all the new technology that has been stuffed into it. MBs is king.

Stiggs,
I still have the two other MLs and CLK55K. One of the MLs is a lease ending in a month so that will go. The other MLs I use for work so i will keep it.
But I am serious when I tell you that you need to test drive this thing, hopefully for a 24 hour period. It will blow your mind.

Kev,
You drive an E55, most things will not leave a good impression on you after driving that beast.

Well, I did think about the 550 but this car had absolutely option in the book and it as my other ML's lease is ending this next month I wanted to get it now for the summer. The wait was too long basically. Plus, I got a good deal on it....no, really. It wasn't in the dealer more than 24hrs and it was sold.
I love my W208 clk55 soon to be clk55k and if anything is going to be a classic this shape will be but I can not help but admire precise engineering and state of the art technology. There is nothing out there in the SUV market that can come close. Read up on it via the links I place on this threath when you have a chance and I think those with doubts will also be whoooed.

Kev,
It's either the beast or you drove a faulty car. I have a new ML350 rental right now before they give me my ML500 later today. The car's acceleration is in my opinion perfect. But then again it could be just personal taste. I have been driving my CLK55 for so long I forgot what it was like to RELAX while driving. I am learning to do that now.

I think compared to the old ML's.... this new one has a huge improvement.... I am certainly not nervous anymore about the handling... unlike the old ML's. No offense to old ML's owners.... just my opinion.

Okay,
One weekend with the new ML500 and I am totally blown away by everthing this car does, including the cornering and acceleration. I know this is a CLK forum so I will keep it short and brief: Amazing vehicle, go drive one (preferrably the 500). Can't stop toggeling the Sport/Comfort suspension button!
All aspects of this car are light years ahead of the old model.
Lastly, today I am getting back my CLK55K. Will report back soon with numbers and review.
