The new ML class has been unveiled. Looks better than the current one, but I don't like the rear of the car at all! Oh and the diesel looks a bit lacking in power ...

I dont think its really improved on the outside, the pic's of the interior look good but not to keen on the busy dash too many buttons, too much wood, but like the leather.

I'm not keen on the look of that at all! It looks like it should be Japanese.............

Wow they might as well of not bothered.

254bhp from a 3.0 V6 Diesel eh? What, did they forget a turbo?

No? Oh well thn someone in the Design Studio got it instead...........

Doesn't Jason get that from an E53 3.0 diesel? Only 10+ years behind then Merc....

I agree, way too many buttons all over the place. It must be a record!

No 7 seats as this is saved for the ML, dash lacks symmetry (speedo has small dial right & so does rev counter) not nice.

Electric seats still mounted on door panel to the front door lever, CMON Merc !! I had this on an 1989 e class estate ?Progress / new ideas?

Front nose does look nice, though quite similar to VW Toureg in its soft angular lines.

Did have a current ML350CDI on loan for 5 days last year, steering like candyfloss (light), seats like a park bench (terrible for a 50k car) and ride height/feel thats uninspiring, though reasonably quick it reallys is a 4WD for "ladys who lunch". I was so glad to get my e53 back after its bumper repair.

Do think the e70 lci still beats this new one hands down, but then I'm biased as mines hits dealers in next couple weeks or so.
