Quick pics of wife's new R350.

Quick and dirty pics of my wife's new R350. Better pics to come. So far love it. Much better, minus the V8, than our GL550 we traded.

Yeah. Had the dealer debadge it when it arrived before pick up. Much prefer the clean look of the back. Actually, a much more pleasant vehicle than I expected. Much prefer it over our GL550 we traded. Even minus the V8.

Had it almost 2 months and have 2300 miles on her.

Your wife should have posed with the car! Nice color choice including the wheels. I may get tired of seeking "the right" S550 and simply upgrade my '06 R350 to a new one! Great car.

Biggest differences are ride, ease of entry/exit, and fit and finnish.

I find the ride much, much better in the R350. Also, because of height difference, much easier to get in and out (and kids in and out) as well as loading the car.

Fit and finnish on the R350 is much better than our GL550. Love the special order interior. Allowed us to get ventilated seats and anthracite roof liner. Also, the seats have deviated piping and the steering wheel, dash, doors deviated stitching.

Love the car. Would have loved a R550, but this will do.

Those are the 20" or 21" wheels? I am looking forward to replace my 09 with this new one next year. Plus the new Bluetec will be more powerful as we can see from the 2012 ML Specs.

Yeah. They are 20's. I wish I knew the new engines were coming. However, I needed to replace the GL550 now. So, overall, very happy with the vehicle. 4300 miles in 3 months...
