The inserts in the doors are only leather if you buy the full leather upgrade. Other wise with MB Tex you just get a rubberized plastic, its nice, but not leather insert nice.

not correct.

the 2 tone leather inserts are for edition 10's only. ml63's get the leather inserts and real leather dash.

if you get the full leather package, it only covers the seats and nothing else.

vinceching nailed it.

Full leather pkg in an ML320 cdi, ML350, and ML550 gets you only leather seats.

The only non-AMG ML that has the leather door panel inserts is the edition 10 ML350. Hopefully that will change soon.

it very well may... it seems like they are getting the hint from the addition of the leather on the edition 10. Only time will tell.

no worries... but its pretty sad how the lower end cars get features like this one would think would be standard on a $50k + mercedes.

the lexus is 250 i got for a family member has handsfree bluetooth standard, voice command.. all on the lowest model.

mercedes needs to get with the program and offer us better standard features.

don't count on it happening anytime soon, unless another german brand caves.

+1...my edition10 has that same two-tone interior...couldn't imagine not having leather inserts on the door, especially on a 50k car

Speaking of options, I find it funny how MB will add extra chrome trim and not actual useful items. In 2006 when I bought mine, it came virtually plain on the outside. They offered an appearance package then, it came with the silver and chrome grill, chrome door moldings, chrome bumper protector, as well as smoked tail lights for the exterior and 19'' five spoke wheels. Also included for the interior was the alcantara seating inserts, brushed aluminum trim and studded pedals. For the 2007 model they split this package into two and made the exterior and interior packages separate. Now for 2008 the exterior package is standard minus the smoked tail lights. Why bother when people really want auto dimming mirrors, memory seats, and Xenon lights, options that should be standard in this class.

+1 completely agree...make the things that people actually want more, standard...and the other stuff as options
