IMHO white ML looks very nice and expensive! But white only with good rims and some chrome.

Go to autotrader.com or any large MBZ delaership website, go to inventory, and look to see if you can find photos of a white ML-- there are lots of white ML's out there.

The ML looks great in white IMO.

I have a white W163 ML430, and I've seen quite a few white W164s. I like them a lot. Very classy.

Hey Kevin,

I have an Alabaster White ML350. It looks very nice, but I must say that everytime it rains the car is a magnet for allll dust particles making it very dirty.

But when cleaned and waxed, the thing is a beauty. I absolutely love it, but I tell ya keeping the thing clean will take a lot of time, and money. But regardless, I love the outcome when the car is sparkling clean.

I think white rocks!

I've been doing lots of driving on dusty dirt roads lately and to be honest the dust does not show nearly as bad on a white car as it does on a dark car. I agree when it rains the dirt shows up, but then again after it rains most colors look pretty dirty.

I know one thing, Mercedes really needs to specify larger, better looking standard wheels for the ML and R-Classes.

For some reason i find white cars OK in warm countries where there is a lot of sunlight. In northern countries, with less light, i prefer darker cars ...

Does this make sense ...

Light cars get less hot in sunlight; dark ones absorb more heat. But fashion is odd. In the US white seems quite popular. In Uk it used to be the best seller. But now it's the kiss of death. My Merc dealer -very helpful 0ne- says a white E class is worth several thousand pounds less secondhand that other colours. In UK Silver is the new white. Very popular.
IMHO white doesn't suit the new ML but silver does and dark colours look fantastic too.

color - fashion by country
In Belgium most cars are black or silver.
White is rather rare, especially for larger cars.

I would never buy (here) an large car in white. Nevertheless, when I saw this white RR Discovery in Spain ... wow

I visited the factory in Stuttgart a few years ago where the tour guide told us that 80% of the production (E-and S-class) is either silver or some nuance of black. White colour was mostly for export to the East Asian market, where white is believed to bring good luck

True. Europe in general, and Germany in particular, has a predominance of black cars. White is very popular in the US.

i like white and save money as well. But my wife said it like a white van.
So I ordered a cubanite silver which is a darker silver with a bit of gold. And black interior. I did not order leather seat because I want to trim 2 colour leather in local.
I will post picture when I pick up a car.

Is climate a factor here. White makes a lot of sense in hot, sunny climes. I always find when I'm abroad in the sunny seaside areas I think white looks great. When I get home to UK and more rain, I'm less sure. But we are all victims of fashion. I used to choose white evry time. Now, never. Daft.

By the way, white cars have 1% less accidents. Easy to see.

Well, I think white is the new silver in the US market... years ago almost every merc or any other comes in silver, but nowadays when you take a look around many cars are in white and the silvers are fading out.
Plus, I like the white and black (without the appearance package) contrast on the ML. Well, I just got mine through the MVP deal . I'm thinking to put some black rims on it. The OEM ones (17's) are horrible! I'll post some pix once I've found my rims.
