Wasn't this year the year the ML250 was supposed to be released but then was delayed for unstated reasons? I personally do not think I'd like the ML with that little diesel engine. I did not mind the engine in the GLK but also did not love it either, just not my thing I suppose.

I read where the ML250 will be released in the 2015 product line-up. The engine is a 4 cyl. diesel about 192/369 hp/tq. What I don't know and very interested in is if the 550 will still be made or will they eliminate the TTV-8 or just go with a TTV-6 as their top engine outside of the AMG.

I could be wrong on this but I thought it was tuning differences. I probably though have that in my head from back when the same 6.3L was in the C63 and E63 yet the E made a good bit more power.

And the same thing is happening with GL550 vs GL450. Same engine, different tuning as far as I understand.

yea, you guys are right. My E63 was different than the C63 even thought it was the same engine. I wonder how simple it would be to tune it to those GL numbers??

If it truly is the tune then as simple as probably a couple thousand dollars or what ever places charge for tunes on MBZs these days.

Ugh, If Mercedes does to the ML what they did to the E class I am going to be one angry customer.
Facelifts are not supposed to be massive, otherwise our cars look terribly outdated after a couple of years.
I am looking at BMW next time, they know how to do a proper facelift.

I'm with you guys on this. I looked at the spy shots and you can barely make out the single bar huge star type of grill. I can almost see the front end being very similar to an E63 wagon. I don't know about those huge air inlets, but somehow the type of grill and probably the ipad type of communication center is about enough to make me want to get in line for the last few ML550. Might even get a good discount out of it!!

Regarding the e class update it looks like they just changed the front and back bumper caps to round ones that don't go with the rest of the linear car. This update will likely look like that too since the ml is very angular.

I doubt the iPad interface. The new s class doesn't even have one.

"As it can be seen in the adjacent photos, the refreshed M-Class will also introduce new full LED headlights with an exterior shape similar to that of the models based on the MFA (Modular Front Architecture) platform, while the interior will also get the tablet-like Comand screen – which may or may not appeal to all potential customers"

I think that I phrased it wrong when I said Ipad communication, what I really meant was that the command screen was going to be like an I pad/tablet type in shape, not communications.

Well, I guess it's either the current 550 or wait until spring/early summer for the "refresh" and the TTV-6. I got a bad feeling that the performance engines will be smaller very similar to the CLA 45 AMG. The TTV-6 is the first step in this line. IMHO. I guess my decision is very clear now, get the current 550 or go elsewhere (BWM/ Audi/). I like the AMG lineup but feel that the asking price is too steep after you add up your options.
By the way, what is the difference in engines between the ML550 and the GL550. The ML is rated at 402 hp and 443 ft. of torque, while the GL is rated at 429 hp and 516 ft. torque. Same engine but different values. WHY

RENNTech tests the ML550 as coming with 460 hp from the factory. I wonder if MB just sets HP ratings lower to sell more AMG models.
