Well looks like the unholy mating of a Lexus and Ford Escape to my eye Image Unavailable, Please Login
Sorry but I have learned my lesson. Whenever, I am buying a car/car, I will only consider Japanese. No more MB crap. Dale
It does look a bit like a kia, but im with f5506m in that it is a lot better design than the old M or G class.
Looks a lot better than the current one. Plus, my understanding is this has a 3rd row seat and they are making a longer wheelbase version. Any more pics? edit - found some more pics here.. http://www.whnet.com/4x4/w164.html

Do I see some Chevy Trailblazer in that rear window area. That said, it's an improvement... the outgoing model was pretty nasty IMO. Never did like it. Then again, I'm not a 45 yr old woman.
This is the first modern vehicle EVER that I had to look at the badge to see who makes it. Bad move, Benz!
