Well done job on 2012 ML350

Any one try out the new 2012 ML350, I just trade my 2010 ML350 for the all new Airmatic Air Suspension and it ride better than some car fully loaded.

You actually found a Airmatic US model? Wanted to try one as a comparison to my Airmatic 2007ML CDI, but couldn't find any.
The regular suspension 2012 models I tried did drive very comparable to my Airmatic, so I am guessing the new Airmatic must be phenomenal.
Does it still make the hissing sound when you open and close doors? (I actually like that)

So you got the whole $5,150 Dynamic Handling Package already? Hadn't heard of any of those out in the US, either.
