Sticker, badge, decal, whatever it is, Its still applied by some sort of adhesive. Taking it off is very effortless, especailly since its only been on for a few days now, hence why I suggested it.

But hey, if you like it, suit yourself.

blazinginder, thanks for your reply.

Just came back from dinner with the family. The restaurant was 1 mile south of Ray Catena. Asked her if she wants to see the ML or GL after dinner. She said "NO thanks, I'll stay with the Lexus." For the next 5 mins, I tried to sway her to see the ML Edition. No dice. Got into her GX and drove home.

She pays for her own car. So, no is no. I think she never forgot the last service she had at Ray Catena. She gave the SA the lowest grade on the service evaluation. The SA called my wife and asked her why he deserved the low grade. He complained to my wife that he was not getting his bonus and this is how he feed his family.

Thanks again.

Regards,
CK530

No problem, guess everyone has their odd ball employees right. Regardless, best of luck with the lexus, I have two and I'm sure you know this also, that you can count on not having any reliability issues with them for sure

Congrats on the ML 10, I see that the square tailpipes are divided internally. Are all the twin square tailpipes now divided on the 08's i.e ML550 or just the 10 Edition?

I wonder why Mercedes decided to go with the 6 spoke 19 inch wheel. When the editon10 was first announced and unveiled it was suppose to have 20 inch 5 spoke wheels in a dark titanium looking color. In my opinion I think the wheels orginally shown are better than the wheel you currently get with the editon10

Jersey...definitely with you on that one, though the production Edition 10 wheels are clearly a nice touch, the original wheels were definitely nicer

Blazing,

The wheels are nice. Don't get me wrong but the wheels are nothing special. You can get that style wheel on any ML at the time of order when i ordered mine as part of the exterior appearance package I was asked if I wanted the 5 spoke 19 inche wheel or the 6 spoke. The 20 inch wheel would have been rarer and unique to the edition 10 only

Very true...most of been a cost issue or just poor decision...any how I've yet to see any with the same wheels and being that it's a $19xx accessory option I don't expect to see many with the same wheels...til that day comes where these wheels are common on ML's or 20's are standard ill be haha

they may have changed it for the 2008 model year cause i now longer see the exterior appearance package on the build your own part of the website. which sucks if all the mls are going to start coming with all the chrome trim and accents. I have seen a bunch of mls around me but but barely any that have the upgraded accents. I will try to see if i can come up with a screen shot of the 2007 build your own site so you can see what i am talking about.

Blazing,

here is a post dated December 5, 2006 about MBUSA changing the exterior appearance package to include the choice of wheels with a photo as well.

thanks for the link...yea it seems they dont have the same packages anymore and have made the 5spoke 19's standard...nonetheless, the main reason(s) I went with the Edition 10 was because of it's price/options/unique touches (in and out) along with there being probably less then 500 Edition 10's in black as there are more whites then blacks from what I know.
