Quick Photoshoot of a 2012 ML350

Had an opportunity to photograph my neighbor's new ML350. What a beautiful car!









My family used to have a 1999 ML320, what a big difference these new ones are! Excellent fuel economy and lots of power. Sadly the engine does not sound as throaty as the old 3.5 liter or even the older 3.2. My neighbor believes that it might have something to do with this new direct injection that MB is using now. But all in all, beautiful car! Enjoy the photos! I know there are a ton of distracting reflections on the car, but I didn't have my polarizing filter with me so, eh, what can ya do!

Nice! I think it's mostly that the muffler is extremely effective. An aftermarket exhaust would fix that (and also the terrible hidden tailpipes).

Sweet. Is that palladium silver or steel grey?

It's Palladium Silver, I darkened the photos slightly to give a bit more edge

They look really professional. If I didn't know any better, I would think you're trying to get more wedding photos gig on this site. You would get my business but I'm still single.

Very nice! I sure would like to know what wax or sealant was used on this car?

factory sealed

it looks so much more polished because the background is blurred
