My wife and I are going in May at Santa Anita in Arcadia, CA. This will still not make me want to buy another ML unless MBUSA comes up with a better warranty on this model line.

I just got a call from my salesman today who gave me an invitation to Monster Park in San Francisco. I ordered a 350ML two days ago, but am planning to change my order to a 500ML..although we test drove the 350, there are no 500's to test drive, so I will go for that purpose alone..to compare the two. I am familiar with the 500 engine as we have a 2003 500E which is superb.

abk,

I love the 500 engines too. Too bad they don't make it ML55 now. Hope in the future. I'm in for 4/24 3PM. Hope to see you there.

Take care!
