The grill ooks to be bigger because if you look carefully there is a lot of space under the silver part of the grill which is the old one.

Those lights in the rear bumper are a joke?!?! Because the look a bit cheap...

Bruce

I agree. Yuk.

Looks like a KIA or Hyundai SUV...

Is that star "fake" as in the CL (with Distronic)?

klier

Yep

I think those lights in the bumper are real. And it doesn't look that bad at all.

That ML is equipped with distronic probably.

The lights don't look that bad, and could be there possibly because of the hatch mounted tire. They are similair to the reflectors on the bottom part of the bumper on the GL, just with white lights also.

The interior is where the ML needs the work, not the exterior. With the similarly sized, German-built GLK on the way the ML really is going to have get it together for 2009 otherwise people aren't going to see the point of buying an ML.

I hope they change the mirrors they look really old and never really meshed all that well with the MLs design.

About time they showed up.

Yea John, the mirrors need to go. They will probably give it the ones from the facelifted E. Those mirrors were first on the W220 S-Class, they needed to go along with the W163, I don't know why they kept them.

The front bumper look like the one from the facelifted E. The back bumper looks unchanged. Wish they had integrated the exhausts into it like the Cayenne facelift and slap on some LED talights.

I agree with Marcus, the ML needs more work on the interior to keep up.

Oh yeah, I'm loving that spare tire on the back. It makes it look like a proper truck. Even the W163 looks good with a spare. You should see the Cayenne too, it looks really good with it on.
