Had to chime in again!!! Note, the ML wasn't even on my radar... heck I wasn't even considering a GL!! I'm an S-Driver and patiently waiting for my 2014 S-Class!!! But my 8 year old brought it to my attention and my local dealer had my official color (blue) and bought it on a whim!!! In fact, the first time I drive it was on the ride home!
I love my ML more and more each day!!! At first I was concerned about being 6'1" 200lbs and looking a bit girly-manish. But the truck is really husky... with just enough refined aggression!!! Incredible build!!! Interior is off the charts well done!!! Cant wait to get some 21" wheels to make it my own!!! I have Keyless Go, Parktronic, Blind/Lane Assist, etc... My only regret is not even knowing about the headlights and the audio upgrade!!!
F-ing Brilliant!!!

regret for stupid GPS with voice control
you have to find the category first, or you need to know the address.
do you know the address of your local walmart or costco?
very limited POIs.

I knew the short comings of the ML; smallish and non-touch Nav screen, push-and-hold memory seating, no vent seats with MBtex, etc. but I easily overlooked them against the endless positives. I love this truck. And so far it drives perfectly as expected and all electronics are without issues.
One problem that I have is a scratch on the plastic of my driver middle air vent. Terribly annoying at any priced vehicle when I see it but otherwise don't think about it. I could have the dealer replace it but I'm presuming that they have to pull off several pieces and who knows what that will lead to. I'm especially concerned about rattles.

I have no regrets on my 550, but the Navi system is definitely the worse compared to all others I test-drived. I loved the system on the Infinite and wish I can put it in my car.

Couldn't disagree more on level of service. I have been treated so well and every single person at my dealership is friendly and helpful. Also the dealership is beautiful, the waiting area looks like a hip night club and they employ about half a dozen model quality 25 year old females who are wonderful eye candy every time I am in there!!! 
Where is it in Canada
?

should've gotten the ml63....not the ml350 haha.
only regret is the iphone connection cable. it's too thick and once you put the iphone into centre console, not a lot of space is left.

So far best car I had-for sure, every time I look at it I have a happy grin on my face.
I just hope this one will last me and wont be breaking all the time.
I had a few nice cars for my age (I am 25), and this car simply makes me feel good
Seriously my fully loaded Lexus LS460L i traded didnt give me that feeling.
