Aug Issue of Car and Driver has pics of new ML
Saw pics of the "new" ML in the new car and driver. Doesn't look all that new to me. The New G class pics look better. Anyone else think it looks blah?

Those are all old heavily photoshopped spy photos or just photoshopped creations.
The most recent spy shot had the ML with a lot less covering - here's a touched-up version of it - you'll notice the headlights, taillights, and fender flares look a bit strange due to this, but you get an idea of the car's shape.

I'm not too impressed.......Besides, the styling is not much of an improvement over the W163s. I'm ready to trade-in after several more thousand miles of usage. Seriously considering an FX35/45. I used to be a die-hard MBZ fan but have been deeply dissappointed with my W163 and all the quirks that goes along with ownership. My "04.5" C320 that we took delivery on 12/28/03 with currently 2k miles has already developed power seat failure issues.
I never owned a Japanese vehicle before...but they are looking to be a better choice for the money.

All I know is I want a truck not a car based mommy utility mobile.

Sincity,
I as well have an 03 C320 and the only problem i have ever had is the power seat issue. It is a simple module that needs to be programmed or changed, but thats the only thing wrong with it! (knock on wood). Havent even brought it in for its first A service yet!

AlBoston: That is good to know that it just needs to be programmed. They already replaced the module. Now the steering wheel moves out of the way when I exit but the seat will not move back anymore. And when I brought it up to the SA, he told me to bring it by to program.....not sure what he meant since I already reprogrammed to move both steering wheel and seat on exit.
LOCHS: I agree space is an issue with the FX. I sometimes use up every cubic feet myself. But that seems to be my only compromise.
