Offical 2005 ML Photo's

2005 ML-Klasse Photo's

These photo's were taken from the German magazine publication "Auto Bild" one of the premier car magazine's in Germany - much debate is circulating on this thread about the authenticity of these photo's? Please note that when this magazine publishes any photo's of any "soon to be German car" it usually is pretty dead on with it's reporting.

For those ML-Klasse lovers here is a guide on how to view the newly designed 2005 ML-Klasse (from the German car Magazine "Autobild")

go to: www.autobild.de/

on the left side click under ALLES UBER [Automarke] - Scroll down to Mercedes-Benz - click
Go to the article named:
AUTO-BILD-Vorschau: Mercedes-Benz CL,
Mercedes lasst die Muskeln spielen - click
click zur Galerie

Here you will see the faces of the new S, CL & ML

Enjoy!

Anyone that know's how to post the pics please do so - not that everyone has to go through the above. Thanks.

Anyone else think the rear-end of the new CL resmebles an Acura? Still, what a great looking car.

Also, is it just me, or do the rear tires on the ML in pic#19 look bigger than the fronts?

Could be - but it's a photoshop, so don't expect perfection

I like the look. More evolutionary than revolutionary. Looks like the size will be about the same but, as I understand it, less weight.

Well the short-wheelbase model will be a tad smaller than the current ML and the long-wheelbase one will apparently be a bit bigger.

I wouldn't worry - new MB's do tend to look better than the photoshops that predict them...
