Mercedes-Benz USA Details its 2013 Model Year Introductions and Updates
Yesterday MBUSA released 'detailed information' about its 2013 model year lineup. But I don't think they told us anything we didn't know already. Here's the news coverage: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/06...-its-2013.html
Here's what they said about the M-Class in particular:
M-Class SUV (on-sale: July 2012)
I wonder if this announcement means that dealers now have MY13 pricing info. Does anyone know?
mbrace2 is one of the key reasons I canceled my MY12 order and for the MY13. Here's some details on that which they release:
Here's what they said about the M-Class in particular:

2013 ML BLUETEC JULY 31
NOT really much savings at all(big picture)
If you worry cost that much by a hyundai or mini van hell an ML 2wd why bother. Actually I will suggest what I "should" do is get the GLK 250 BlueTec available Dec-Jan. Real Truck AWD Huge Mileage nice refresh too
