With my lease (2011 ML350) expiring in March, I ordered a 2013 ML550. I really wanted a V8! (I test drove a ML350 and a GL 550.) So, ML550, in Pearl Beige with Almond MB Tex interior, Premium 1 package, lighting package, ambient lighting, Satin Ash wood trim. The dealer had one 550 allocation, so I got it. It's scheduled to be built around the end of November. The vehicle is definitely quieter than my 2011, with a more upscale looking interior. Glad they put the roll top on the cup holders (apparently the MLs exported to Europe have had this for some time, on the previous generation). Not sure I like the new location for the turn signal lever, but I guess I'll get used to it. The graphics (instrument cluster and dash screen) are much improved over my 2011.
