This Year's Model Updates:
The ML430 is replaced by the ML500, which has a 5.0-liter V8 packing 288 horsepower. Over 1,100 parts of the truck have been modified, but the ML's exterior remains largely the same. New bumpers, clear-lens headlights and revised side mirrors are the most noticeable exterior changes. Inside, the center console sports a new look, and wood grain trim becomes standard on all models. A new automatic climate control system is now standard, and rear-seat passengers get dual cupholders and separate ventilation controls.
Pros:
- Safe, comfortable, car-like ride and handling, surefooted in bad weather.
Cons:
- Reputation for poor build quality, looks like a minivan from some angles, confounding COMAND navigation system.
