Hit and run
I was parked on the side of a street and some guy driving an old surburban slammed into the back of my car. I was inside a restaurant when it happened and someone came and got me to tell me what had happened. The guy who hit me took the time to say sorry and then gave me his information. He then ran to his car and took off. A cop showed up a minute later and went to try and locate him. I was luckily able to see his license plate number as the information he gave me was false. Second accident in less than a year, both not my fault. (A drunk driver hit me the first time this past summer). Moral of the story, make sure you ask for a persons license if involved in an accident as this man tried to get away. He was caught an hour later...

I think that the exterior is awesome. But they REALLY screwed up the interior. The center console is weird, the area where the radio and buttons are feels too close to you, they decreased the angle of the windshield, so the windshield is smaller.. They also made the pillars too thick increasing 2 O'clock and 10 o'clock blind spots. In the front it feels a lot like the jeep grand cherokee, except with a lot more leg room and higher quality interior.. I am waiting for the ML63 to come in, going to test drive that, see how it is.

I think the W164 doesn't have the truck charm...
I test drove the W164 on one of the MB sponsored events on a dirt & race track. I felt it lacked the solid tank/truck feel of the W13.
Nice styling/interior/fit and finish, no doubt....but the sheet metal has gotten thinner than the W163, and I would doub't if its as sturdy as the W163...
