Hi! I had a look at a '00 Ruby Red ML320 this afternoon. The key's rectangular, but with the same few buttons as the plastic key. The only disappointment was the dash and the door trim. The amount of plastic used is atrocious! Hehehehehe... but the seats were comfortable. The interior's smaller than wut I though it'd be. Engine was quiet, but minute vibrations could be felt. Dealer had to start the car 3 times before it actually started. The one I had a look came with the additional third row seats. Rear legroom was pretty tight. The dealer quoted me USD$117,137 for it. Scary! And he quoted around USD$68,439 for a pre-owned reconditioned ML320. Despite the "exaggerated" usage of plastic, I still like the ML and I'll be getting one... takes 6 months. I'll prolly opt for a brand new car since the build quality itself isn't to MB's standards.
Regards,
Chung
