Looks very promising i look forward to this next gen ML.

ML 450 with 408hp and the 500 with 435hp? I would not put my money on this. The difference is too low. I´d expect better a 408hp 450 and a 450hp 500.

Btw, it seems Mercedes won´t produce more V8 diesels, but powerfull hybyds instead.

The ML 420 CDI version, by all chances, won't be discontinued, but up to now, the specifications of the engine to be used are not known.

Expect a new name, like ML 450 CDI.

And Marcus I think that's the CL63's engine we're hearing. You can see the wheels spininning.

Oh and why do the brakes squeal on the ML? Could it be they're ceramics or maybe too cold?

Definitely not a 4matic. The front wheels didn't turn while the back was spinning. I guess MB is trying to target the low-end SUV customer.

Why isn't the whole MB crew having an opinion about the interior pic???

What's up with you guys???

Didnt' notice it with all the hype surrounding the CLS and F800. I have my doubts about the legitimacy of the photo, but the interior certainly looks good. The center stack appears real, considering what the spy photos have showed us, but the rest could be a guess.

The new COMAND system is what I personally find the most interesting feature in the interior. Looks like it might have a touch-pad. Perhaps something similar as the one in the new Audi A8. The other controls are probably for the off-road functions.

I think the W164 interior is much more stylish. This one looks like they're trying to make it too much like a C-Class.

The roof looks very steeply sloped from the angle...

SKYSONY · 03-08-2010, 03:11 PM

Look at the shape of the rearlights of the last spy pic. Guess who was right again?.
