The ML55 is rolling out of the US plant? I always figured that if it was an AMG, it'd be bouncing out of the AMG plant.

I have a 2002 Designo ML55 on order, which should be here in about Aug or Sept. My understanding is that the 2002 will have auto climate control (front and rear), modified bumpers, auto down/up windows, Smart Key, Auto lights, New console, turn signals on mirrors, etc.

Interestingly, the ML430 is being replaced by a new ML500. Which could be good because the 430 seemed a little tiny bit lacking in power (via my bias).

I LOVE ML's... they are DISCO.
