I hadn't caught this info before, so I was pretty excited to read at the Mercedes booth at the NY auto show today that the ML320 CDI is coming. So, any info or projections on gas mileage? I'm thinking a combined average around 26-27 would be real nice to see on a luxo SUV like this.

Replying to: merc1 (Apr 17, 2006 11:09 pm) although, considering the ML350 takes about a 5mpg hit compared to the E350, and the E320 cdi gets 27/37 .... well, let's say that I'm certainly not counting on 30 in the diesel ML. Still, at 22/32, it would do GREAT on the highway and even that city number rivals my highway number in my current sedan.

Worldcarfans (in the Germancar section) has a timeline for upcoming Mercedes 2007 (in the U.S.) model introductions. Article In short: USA: ML63 AMG 4MATIC July 2006 USA: CLS550 September 2006 USA: CLK63 AMG Cabriolet September 2006 USA: GL450 4Matic May 2006 USA: E-Class July 2006 USA: R320 CDI October 2005 und R63 AMG 4MATIC September 2006 It appears that the R500 and ML500 keep the ancient SOHC 5L V8! Don't get that at all.  It also mentions "further" CLK models, read CLK550. M |

The 2007 GL450 has landed I see. The build your own feature is up at MBUSA. There should be some type of announcement on the new CL very soon. I'd say sometime in the next couple of weeks or so prior to May 19th, a very big day in Stuttgart! Autoweek is reporting that the G-Class' facelift will be shown at the Paris auto show this September. The updated SLR "Track Sport" is also rumored to be heading for a Paris debut along with an SLR Roadster. Sometime between now and then there should be an announcement about the SLK55 Tracksport. A lightened and stiffened SLK55 AMG with carbon fiber here and there and 400hp from the current 5.5L V8. M |

Sales info for April 2006, up 13 percent compared to April 2005. The S,GL,R,CLK,SLK and to a lesser degree the E-Class all contributed to the gain. Source M

Sales were up 21+ percent for May 2006 vs. May 2005. The S,E,R,SL,SLK and new GL were all responsible for this huge gain. Dealers must be giving away 06' E-Classes ahead of the new 07' model arriving at the end of June. The R-Class moved only 1400 or so units, still not up to what MB needs in order to meet their goal of 20K a year. The GL was the surprise, it outsold the ML. Sales Also Mercedes has confirmed their 2007 model lineup. The new CL550 and CL600 arrive at year-end. In the "I don't understand category", the R500, ML500 and G500 keep the old 5L V8 instead of getting the new 5.5L V8. The CLK550 has also been confirmed. 2007 MB Models M |
