2012 M-Class Has Similar Lines As GLK
At least from this angle (1st pix) the side panels of the new 2012 M-Class does show a resemblance to its smaller brother, the GLK. I kinda like it. Trade up may be in the works! 
"Mercedes-Benz presented the first pictures and information on the 2012 M-Class. The redesigned M-Class gets new bodywork and a new car. Bluetec ml 250 4MATIC ML 350 4MATIC ML 350 Bluetec and 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY: It will be initially offered in three versions. A carved to get beautifully detailed front bumper and a bigger, bolder version of the Mercedes-Benz passenger cars from the brand on the podium."*

Though it is a German site, but I'm sure you will be able to browse through the pictures. Look for the "forward/back" arrows on top of the first picture.

Good move; the M- Class has always been the ugly duckling in the whole MB lineup, IM(not so)HO.
This is an improvement.

GLK 350 4 MATIC
I had a high expectation on the upcoming M class. however, this is disapointing. it looks too plain as some said and to me it looks more of a van. I dont think this will keep up with the redesigned X5

Diesel GLK in 20??
2012 ML skid plates
Autoblog did a first drive of the 2012 ML BLuetec version on the 18th.
http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/18/2...-drive-review/
One of the new exterior design features that puzzled them was the rather large chrome covered PLASTIC skid plate on the front end. I know plastic air dams are a common lower font end items nowadays and can be made fairly rugged. But to rename this chunk of excess chromed plastic a skid plate is embarrassing. Skid plates like the one on my pickup are quarter inch thick steel plate and placed underneath critical engine parts to be functional not shiny and cute.
I fear this SUV was designed to be cute for suburban female buyers!

And you said what "Last edited by GLKMM; Today at 06:05 AM. Reason: The guy is illeterate.."
And how do you spell "illiterate.."
"I think MBRedux lines look like he's bottom... He drives a nissan and admires a GLK, what a trader.. "Trader Joe""
Hmm...."look like he's bottom" ?????? "and admires a GLK" his wife drive a GLK is there a problem with that? He drives a GT-R can you afford that?
They say that people in glass houses should never throw stones.
I'm not defending MBR but you need to focus on the questions in the forum and provide answers and opinions about the subject matter not the person who wrote it.

Check out this thread as an example. I never attacked you or spurted "hatred". You did in your post #13 and #14. Blaming others is easy to do. It's clear that your repeated ravenous attacks have done yourself in, not I or anyone else. If your wish is to be removed from MBWorld, you're doing a great job. But why wait for Nola? You can do that yourself!

I'm not exactly sure why you joined this forum but your comments are uncalled for and down right crude.

Back on topic, I learned yesterday from my sales buddy that the new M will be available with this cladding. He's looking into a trade.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery I guess! That Ford sure does look similar.
