2012 M-Class: Full Specs with color chips.

Here is full specifications with codes for colors, interior, trim, packages and individual options: 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class changes and updates: New Generation!.

Especially, I like the breakdown of all previous ML's with the recommendations on what is good model-year to buy and model years with most problems... Must read if you are looking for used ML.

Also, according to this article, there will not be ML550 and no ML350 2WD. Another shocker - no Xenons until the next year!

There is no ML at the New York Auto Show. The car will be officially unveiled in a month or so, with the world premiere in Germany in early June. The first public auto show featuring the ML will be Frankfurt.

Here are some new spy photos.

It's hard to find any remaining 2011 ML... but I was told 2012 is not even in production yet. I guess there will be a few months, where there will be no ML's available for sale at all...

The w164 is still being built as I type until July. The plant will be shut down for 2 weeks then to finalize retooling for start up on the w166.

MBUSI is building around 600 w164 a day so I dont see why they are hard to find.

I think there is more availability in MD area from a scan of some dealers. I'm not sure if inventory is lower than usual but one dealer had over 40 and some others had 11-13 or so.

I'm still waiting on mine to be built.

Most of the heavy retooling has already been done in new sections of the plant.

VelociRaptor: Did you experience substantial damage at the plant with the infamous tornados. Tuscaloosa was ground zero for days.
