I don't think it's much better than the current one in terms of looks. The RX & GX looks way better inside & out.

IMHO, no SUV's looks as mean as the FX, including this this new ML.

LOL. I would fire the designer who made the new ML so reminiscent of the other garbage inside and out.

Why all of a sudden the car manufacturers are so fascinated with round a/c vents??

The interior of the new ML looks dated and cheap already.
A notch better than the horrendous previous one for sure, but that's the best that can be said about it.

The exterior...the front looks fairly handsome but the taillights look weak.


BTW, thanks Richie for the offering but I think there are enough numbers between the lines for us to guess what they mean already.

I give it two tentative thumbs up.

It's just that much improved over the current generation.

It'll be interesting to see if Mercedes also works a little harder on initial quality with this next-generation ML. The first ML was a disaster as you may recall.

Dude...i toured the ML factory in Alabama and it's basically made by a bunch of people who dont know ****. That's the reason why the 1st MLs that came out (1998) had so many damn recalls. I dont favor any german car made in the US, even if it looks good.
