2012 or 2013
I have just ordered an ML350Bluetec and promised an Australian delivery in October.
The W166 was only released here in April and the demos I have driven were built during the NA 2012 build period but contain many features which seem to be unique to the NA 2013 build.
Should I expect my new car to have all the 2013 updates including the colour screen when it comes off the line in August?

2013 ML350BTC
I' m sure someone may know more about vehicles going out of USA, but any car built after the change over in June will be MY 13 with all updates. They've shut off 2012 orders at this point.
