Has anyone gotten a 2010 ML350 yet? Just wondering what people think about it. I test drove one the other day and I think they drive better than my 2006 ML350. I also like the subtle changes to the exterior of the car. It felt as though MB decided to make the steering wheel a little smaller though. I like the 19s that come with the car standard now, makes it handle so much better.

Other thoughts?

Hey gsrjc, I recognize you from the "otherside" in the AMG world, eventhough I have a MY2009 ML350 for my wife. the 2010 is the same, my father has a 2007 ML350 and there is a difference in ride, maybe due to the 19's, not sure, it just feels more surefooted. The exterior has the new headlights assemble, and much bigger grill which really flaunts the tristar. The rear also is different with the rear valance having reflectors, and the skidplates of front and back are of some polished metal, not the grey plastic as in my fathers 2007. I think from the rear it looks more portioned with the wide metal skidplates, it gives the illusion of it looking "fatter", as well, the rear tail lights are LED, neat looking at night. The exterior mirrors are also bigger with LED signals on them. Overall, I am pleased that my wife drives this with our 19month old boy in the back seat, I say go for it, you wont be dissappointed, it also will be the perfect sister for the raging beast of a brother it shares its space with!!

Hey 1st amg,

I see that you venture outside of the AMG world too. i'm actually supposed to get a new 2010 soon but was just wondering if anyone actually has one. i like everything that you have pointed out with the new ML too. plus, i'm going to be a bad soon so wanted to make sure that the cars were new and wouldn't give me any issues. the inside electronics is basically the same as my 2006 and the COMAND unit is basically like the AMG except it doesn't have the knob. overall, i got a really good deal so i can't wait to get it.

Mine just arrived at the dealership so picking it up tomorrow.

Iridium Silver
P1
Lighting package
Brushed aluminum running boards
Rear seat entertainment
Heated front seats

I didn't have to custom order it as my dealership traded with Ray Catena in NJ.

I'll let you guys know what I think after I drive it around for a couple of weeks.

Thanks... wife has iridium silver in her SLK280 too. i think that will be the last iridium silver for a while though.

Has one else gotten a 2010 ML350? what are your first impressions? I had an 06 so the only thing that I like the most right now is they finally fixed the transmission problem. No kick down or difficulties in shifting.
