M-Class (W166/C292) [Official] Mercedes-Benz ML Facelift

[Alwing]

It all looks official to me.
It's even on AutoWeek.nl
So there's no question about it concerning it's authencity.

Wait a min, then that means the ML63 has a cutout in the front bumper? Definitely don't like that. Those pics look much clearer than the WCF ones....

However the more I look at them, it is clear that some of them have been touched up. The wheels on some of them just don't look right, especially the ML63. Mercedes-Benz giving out crappy pictures?

I still say ML63 is a PS.

If not, that looks like some bad aftermarket job.

Autozeitung has those pics even in 1280x1024

Oh yeah they're real alright. The new steering wheel looks quite handsome in this last pic.

Some pics are PS...but official ones!

Agree for the "bad aftermarket job". The AMG is absolutely awful, almost ricey on the front.

The standard one is definitely an improvement, I like it a lot. Front and interior are way better. I still needs to see the taillights IRL, but the LEDs are nice. Just wished it was a bit darker.

Please, stop making foolish scenarios about the pics!Head over to Daimler Global Media Site - Newsroom (Home) to convince yourselves about the real deal!

Having an account there might help.

Well, ok, they're real, but look crap, i mean their quality....

Do you have an account there? If so, care to provide some "official" pics?

 

[ree]

Horrible!! This is definitely one of those disimprovements!! Especially the AMG looks like a "laughing stock"!!

 

[Der Hofmeister]

Yes, of course, I can provide you with the official photos. I will not post them here, because they are too large(some of them going over 4000x3000 pixels) and of course too big in size(over 3 MB). I will give you the links to my blog where I have them posted. Note that I resized the photos:

Much appreciated, karma deserved and given.

 

[PanterroR]

I hope you won't mind, if so, please say and i'll delete it:

Look at this, doesn't this look like a PS??

 

[Der Hofmeister]

Well, it's not so hard to say. My personal opinion is that, despite the fact that the car may look horrible to many, Daimler AG Media Services has always offered the real truth in means of official press releases and images. I have many photos from them and the quality of the photos is at a high level. Really, trust me, they don't look photoshoped and they aren't.

I forgot to mention that my account there was created long time ago, so I had the necessary period to fully find out that Daimler AG Media Services offers reliable information to its customers.

I really think the new ML 63 is like the BMW X6:Love it or hate it!

 

[PanterroR]

I don't doubt Daimler AG Media Services, it's only my 1st impression after seeing those pics. I still say it looks PS-ed.

Love it or hate it? Don't know about that, i for sure don't hate the ML, but i'm not loving it either.

I see some influence of GLK. Prefacelift look better but it’s still remaining my favourite No 2.

 

[PanterroR]

Mr. Bartek, it's a repost, see page one, very 1st post.

Post deleted.

 

[Der Hofmeister]

Shall we wait for more photos, especially for those that will be posted on the Mercedes-AMG website?Maybe then everybody will understand what's the matter with the photos.

 

[PanterroR]

Yep and i hope that patience will pay well...(although i doubt i'll like ML63 at all)...

 

[Merc1]

Hope they are useful!

Yes they are, thanks. (Karma). The SL pics on there are oh my gosh stunning.

[Mr. Mercedes]

I'm really liking it...A LOT!

Seems to address every issue I had with the ML, bar the lack of Command 3.
