Here the rest of the MB pictures so far:
http://gallery.dealerrater.com/galle...Submit1=Search

I cataloged all the photos so they are easier to find. You can either sort by Manufacturer like the link above, or by Category(SUV). Both will show the same pics of the new ML. As a so-so fan before, I have to say the new ML is a step in the right direction.

As some one noted above, the rear legroom isn't great at all. It felt a little more cramped then the X5, but I'll check again today. I'm 6'3 so maybe not the best judge

Yeah...where the hell is the gear shifter?
Please don't tell me they moved it to the steering column!
Why? Oh, Why?

Yup! You guessed it ! Just like the E65/66 (745i/Li). You can see the shift buttons behind the steering wheel in the second to last picture.

yep, on steering column, but hey, at least it's not like a mini-van / ford explorer style type shifter, where the entire stick moves up and down. It's all electronic, just tap up or down to get out of the gears. And it's a pretty small lever too, so it's not this hugh thing sticking out to the side.

OK..I'll take your word on it. I am going to miss having something to put my right hand on while driving. I guess I'll just have to put it down my pants!!

The seat controls aren't on the door like every other MB; is the current ML like that too? I haven't been in one in a very long time, so I don't remember.
The cargo area looks decent.
If they don't change the price too much, this could be in the running when I'm in the market later this year.
