ML550 and ML63 now on MBUSA.com
http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/models/class-M
No Eucalyptus wood trim option and bland 5-spoke wheels standard on the ML550. Hopefully our dealer can swap the wheels out (would rather have the 19" wheels from the US version ML350) and has a list of options for wood type and other items not listed on the web site.
And why is the 'ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM' standard on the ML350s but not the ML550?

Fully agree, and after being so impressed with the MB-Tex in our GLK350 we actually prefer that for the ML550! Hopefully there's also an option for a matching MB-Tex dash.

I completely understand your point. But have leather as default on the vehicle and let people choose MB-Tex if they want. The rest of the V8 engine cars default to leather why not the ML ? It just seems inconsistent in my eyes. And I also find it ridiculous that leather costs extra at this price level of the car.

It's a sport UTILITY vehicle, is one reason that the vinyl makes sense. Also, I think for this vehicle MB really wanted to not increase the base price relative to the W164. Adding leather would have forced an increase.
