Mercedes is freshing up the ML for the 2002 to begin the second part of it's model-life, sales for them start this fall. Just wanted to share this with you guys who are intrested 
 
ML430 is replaced by ML500 
 
Newly Styled Bumpers on non sport models 
Standard Foglights 
Rear filler Panel 
Turn Signal Indicators on exterior mirrors 
Chrome accents on door handles, and rear hatch. 
Clear Headlights with projector beams. 
New alloy Wheels for 320 and 500. 
ML500 gets Ml55 Chrome Grill. 
 
New Auto climate Control standard 
And rear vents with seperate control settings 
Parktronic is now Optional 
Standard Side Window AirBags 
Auto on Headlights. 
and a couple more fine detials. 
 
So the ML isn't going to be all that differant like most thought, just some features added that it should have had in the first place. Too bad the US isn't planned to get the ML400 0-60 in 7.8 for diesel too. 
 
What do you guys think of the facelift?

Cliff, Have you seen the July Issue of Automolie Magazine? There is a good article about the ML430 went up to the tallest mountain in the world, which is the Mauna Kea at BIG ISLAND. I wonder if you want to try it with your ML.:-)
