omg, the wood trims are uglier that I thought it would be, I just cannot understand why can't MB North America offer the nicer looking aluminium trim.
At least the leather dash looks great. I just hope the Canadian cars gets that nice leather dash like the US cars.
MarcusBenz : I saw the ipod integration kit on the invoice, isn't that a dealer-install option instead of a factory one?

Pricing
At $92k, I think this car is reasonable deal. It's capabilities on road are similar to CTTS, but less off-road, hence the price closer to regular TT, but at $102k, i.e., plus mark-up (in the current conditions for sales? seriously?) it's not. jmo.

don't get me wrong, I love fast SUVs, too 
I drive a cayenne turbo in germany, that thing flies. But i think $92k for a ML63 is a little much. i'd rather get a cayenne turbo for that! Add some Gambala gadgets for $6k and you're at > 600 HP!

I'd throw away an extra 10 Grand for a car that costs over 500 Grand if I wanted it badly enough -- but I'd never throw away an extra 10 Grand for an ML(!).
Stealerships in So Cal and So Florida do this because they can get away with it: it'll be PT Barnum time and some fool will walk in and pay them the extra money for the car....
They'll have made their extra 10 Grand and the fool will have his new MBZ - so everyone's happy right?

Then maybe I will consider paying close to $100K for a ML. Like some of you stated, Porsche Cayenne Turbo maybe a better choice at this price range. Oh I guess the GL63 will probably stickered at $110K at the rate this is going

I just wanted to let everyone know that management has taken the "market adjustment" off the ML63 & will sell at MSRP. If anyone is interested & do not want to wait on an order, let me know!!!

2013 ML63 AMG PP
This is really nice!
I'd rather have the ML63 AMG over a Porsche Cayenne Turbo (still ugly IMHO), Range Rover Sport Supercharged (handling not as good and definately not as quick)! For anyone spending upwards of $80K on a 4X4 I don't believe $92K is that much of a problem.
I like the leather dash, door inserts, dual screens at the back and 20 inch rims. Very very nice!

...i'd get an 05 Cayenne Turbo with under 16k miles for 65k

Still think that it would look better with a wood steering wheel,...I spoke to one of the reps at MBUSA and the list is 86k, with all the goodies and taxes etc,...close to 95k+ Wonder how many will be sold in the coming year??
Sweet ride!!!
