Mercedes all the way!
slightly off point, but has anyone been tempted to get one of these new ones already? 
i mean, for me, it seems a rather too plain looking thing from outside (like a RAV4 or RX from the front, and any number of SUVs from behind), at least. while the inside is interesting in some parts (instrument cluster, gear selector) but a little untidy looking in others (centre console seems to consist of two distinct parts?) although i'm sure now the quality will really be "up there"

i've seen the new 06 ML in person. both 350 and 500. i think it's the most coolest looking SUV ever designed. just wait till they hit the showrooms boys. also, the interior quality is very nice also, it's very trendy looking.

Just saw them live at the Chicago Autoshow. They look fantastic in person. Very nicely done indeed. 
If I am in the market for a new SUV in a year or two, this will be my first port of call for a test drive.

Whatever there's gas in...
I saw one on the freeway one day in Santa Clarita and it didnt look like Mercedes-Benz's work, it looked like a chrysler pacifica except shorter and squarer but maybe it'll on me like the W220 did
