Just a hunch.
True.. bad wording I guess.

I actually like the color of it and the interior... like I said before, I would change the wood back to original.
i actually like it also, i just think that it was overdone with the wood being so tacky. i loved the slk when they first brought back the idea of two tone leather.

I think the two tone leather, and the wood is great.

Just not together. As most of us seem to be agreeing upon the light wood and dark red and gray just don't go together.

That light wood is what we have in our X5, similar anyways. It looks nice with the rest of the interior being sand colour.

Its nice to see a different ML interior

Just noticed its got the red stitching on the seats and leather center console arm rest.

Looks to me like Designo:

I believe Kajtek might have a similar designo ML55. I like that wood color, well I love it, just not with that interior color combo. It looks a lot nicer with all black like in the GL450 Premier Edition, or in the Java interior (which some MLs had this combo).

It seems generally to match the photos in the 2001 M-Class brochure for the Cognac Designo edition (slight differences, perhaps, as the brochure depicts the ML55 version). There is one here in town with that package and it is quite striking. The grill on your pictured vehicle looks like an ML430 piece, however.
