Like the interior, but looks like a bigger version of a Rav4 from front view




I love my W164 but mercedes couldn't find a way to improve the front exterior besides adding a chrome lip and leds???

I think I read on in on insideline.com that there will be two diesel engines? The mpg of the diesel engines sounds great. If true those cars should sell like hotcakes.

We were considering buying a 2011 ML Bluetec, but maybe we should hold off now.

I prefer it to the current M we have now...I always thought it looked bloated.

The one thing they did improve on was raising the NAV screen. This is the biggest bug up my butt about my new ML350...other that no real WOW factor like I said.

I have already decided to trade in the family's W163 for a W166. Blacj on blacj.
Would really like to see what the 63AMG looks like.

Yeah, they all look alike, unless you have an eye for detail.
