Some basic questions on ML 350 W164

Hi guys,

I am thinking of buying ML 350, and have a couple of basic questions that you might be able to help answering.
1. Does it come with 7-seater option? The previous version, W163, does offer 7-seater version.
2. Are all ML made in the US? Or are there any types produced in other MB plants?
3. What platform its shares the most, in terms of engine? The old ML share parts with E-class, if not mistaken.
4. Any web page that has a good comprehensive review on this car?

Thanks guys, appreciate all the insights.

Cheers,
Olie

No 7-seater option. You get a GL if you want that.

ALL ML are built in Alabama.

It shares much with the GL and the R-class, both also built in Alabama.

W163 had nothing in common with E-class, save engine and transmission.

ALL Mercedes worldwide use the same engines and transmissions, all of which are assembled in Germany.
