    Sorry but I have learned my lesson. Whenever, I am buying a car/car, I will only consider Japanese. No more MB crap.

    It is alot better looking than the existing M-class though that is not saying much.

    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..

    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!
