W166 shipping out monday

Makes Sense
With dealer showings scheduled for the middle of the following week, makes complete sense.
Looks like deliveries of first orders will be the week of the 19th as well.
I've just traded in my 4 month old 2011 MB350 Diesel for a 2012 ML350 Gas, because I discovered that I can't buy ultra-low supler diesel fuel in Mexico, where I'm now going to be spending half the year.
This will give me an opportunity to compare the last of the previous generation M with the first of the new generation. At least the Canadian versions. I expect that I'll write up some first impressions on the differences once I take delivery.

Just received a note from Netstar, the ML350W4 has been officially released for retail as of today so they will be at dealer lots shortly. Now if I can get the few Aug production cars I have moving through the process it would help, we only have one ML left on the lot.

Chrome skid top and bottom pieces are very nice.

Love Love It! I feel like I was driving on a sedan, and my wife in the back seat feels like she's in the back of my S class. A whole world of different comparing to my 06' ML.

No air suspension; We don't think needed for the truck. The ride so soft and smooth, the steering wheel and gas, brake pedals were amazing you feel exactly like Lexus; just P1 package, runing board, etc ... MRSP about 56k and Fleet sale manager said I have to pay for that price tag. Like to see other people how much they pay for theirs. There were 4 of them in the lot and 1 with sign SOLD.

I've driven a 166 350BT (steel suspension) and 550 (AIRMATIC) and I can say without hesitation that neither drives like a Lexus, though both are greatly refined vs the 164. Much closer to an E-Class in terms of road manners, aside from the obvious effects of the higher center of gravity and softer sidewalls.

Havent seen that article. In fact there were no mainstream US spec reviews until after the car came out. I got the a6 July 2 a while before c&d and these articles came out. At least so I think. Good read though, thanks. This car is awesome. Google maps navigation,wifi hotspot, touchpad data entry, and led headlights really sets this car apart.
Now back to this ml.
Hey velociraptor, have you seen the xenon headlights around the warehouse or in any of the current builds? Since it seems like air suspension might already be available.

The two have nothing to do with one another; the lighting is a supplier issue. Every market in the world has complained and pushed on the Xenon availability issue - there simply isn't enough supply. And since MBUSA doesn't make Xenons standard on most cars (including ML350s), priority goes to the EU.
