The interior is the real thing too. That steering wheel couldn't have come from anywhere else but MB headquarters! M

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Official: ML Facelift I like it alot. Love the new front, much more powerful and distinctive. The new rear bumper is okay. But I would have preferred darker taillamps. The white bar would be better in darker grey, and the red is a bit flashy...but it could come from the quality of the pic. The interior looks better, in fact it is the one of the GL: wood above the glovebox, Artico "man-made leather" on the dash, and on the door panels. So it is the end of the ugly plastic-door panels, the biggest flaw in ML's interior for me. I like this FL. Makes the ML even more attractive. The new wheels are cooler, too. The AMG, on the other hand... ![]() Awful. I did not like the pre-FL AMG, but this one is clearly even much worse...Aftermarket crappy kit.

They gave the previous ML the same chin adjustment during its facelift. The ML350 doesn't get the new V6 either, I don't get that. It has Pre-Safe now so that is a plus. Need to see more pics though! The ML63 does look like a bit of a mess here though. Definitely need to see more pics of it. M

Either their all PS or just incredibly lousy pictures? Either way I can't believe WCF. You used to be able to trust anything they posted "officially". M

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Official: ML Facelift The interior is super-grainy, no way it's official. May be a GL's with W212 steering... But I think the real deal will be exactly like that. The AMG clearly are all PS. The black one Tyc is showing is a PS too, I think. The chromed area under the bumper is not clear and looks suspicious. The grille too, and the area on the ground clearance of the car is clearly grainy...Like a badly erased thing... Also, the tyres seems to be 1555 , not 265 wide here. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Official: ML Facelift Well the non-AMG seems to be real, at least the silver are imo the real deal. And the interior, I think it's real too, how could they create such a steering? We all see it comes from the W212, but the chrome bits.. I think the interior is real too, new radio-system, new steering and GL dash/doorpanels. It's just not really official, for me it comes from a small official pic, maybe intended for the advert book. The AMG is clearly PS, but I think it's very close if not identical to the real, or maybe are the PS coming from MB themselves! I already saw PS in advert books... For me, even if some pics are PS, all this is real and is 100% the real deal. WCF can't publish pics, claiming they are official from Daimler, if they are not. That's legally impossible, and deadly for their credibility.
