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

ML500 and A64.2 sport
ML

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.

Looks more like a Highlander to me..

I would expect a more distinctive styling than this...the W163 was in a class of its own..didn't resemble a single other SUV in the market...this one's a disappointment to me...

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