This is the spy shot of major facelift for future ML...
Looks Amazing
Wondering whether new GL will come out like this with ML.
GL got the brand new design one year later than ML.

Am I right in assuming that COMAND would be completely touch or steering wheel or puck controlled? I am thinking the unit below the display is for climate control, but maybe they moved climate control somewhere else and that's the command buttons?

I personally like integrated displays, and think this display looks like an add on. But that's just me.

My main hope is not so much looks as function. I would love to see COMAND become leading edge (Mirrorlink, touch, awesome phone integration, dynamic maps, custom POI, etc).

Mercedes wont go touch screen, its a big no-no for them. Touch pad and buttons are likely, like in the S-class.
