I've been a big diesel fan since picking up an A6 TDI last Aug. - while I was anxious to see the new Q7 (TDI) that comes out later this year, my wife wanted something bigger than the Q5, but smaller than the Q7...the ML fits the bill perfectly.

Think I got a pretty good deal...car spec'd out @ $62,715 and got it for $58,000 + TTL (7.5% off, so pretty much at invoice). Dealer was out of build allocations for 2014, so had to swap with another dealer to get one one of their open allocations - hoping to see the car by early June!
I placed my order about a week ago and expecting the car by end of April. We are not far from Alabama, so not much transport time. As far as price, I got approximately at invoice as well.

I decided on the ML350BT over the Q5 (almost pulled trigger on SQ5) largely due to size and a nicer interior. I have never owned a diesel, but I enjoyed driving the BT more than the gas.

I vote yes on the Airmatic but not crazy about my running boards. They look good but they actually get in the way while getting in and out of the vehicle. Mine could disappear in the future.

Enjoy your new vehicle, your color combination is good.
