Sorry if this was answered earlier. I just couldn't find it using search.

What are the differences between the '07 and '08 model years? Thanks!

Thanks all. It sounds pretty minimal. I did hear, however,that they were doing away with the multi-contour seats. I don't know how they feel so I am not sure if that is much of a big deal...

Thumbs up

I think the main difference is that they have a few more standard issues like Satelite radio and the price went up slightly but it's basically the same as the redesigned 06 and 07 but your getting a little more included with standard package. Good Luck

'08 ML320 CDI Arctic White
What was stated above, but in addition....

I believe the 2008's come standard with 19" wheels.

And from as far as I can tell, no more black grilles. They all seem to be that brushed aluminum/chrome.

You're right, forgot about the 18 ---> 19", those old 18" 10/12 spoke wheels looked horrible

The ML500 has a new motor and is now the ML550. It has 380hp compared to the 302hp of the ML500.

'03 G500, '13 G63, '17 GLS63,
What makes me sad is I paid a TON of money for the AMG package on our '07 ML320CDI only to have it look like all the ML550's coming out in '08.

you shouldn't feel too bad... look at it from the point of view of those ml63 owners.

they spent $90k + on their cars hoping to look different... now they are going to look like a dime a dozen minus the flares, 20" rims , and quad amg exhaust.
