I placed my order for my ML350LP, the launch package model which is supposed to be in mid March or earlier. Mine will be silver, although I only had a choice between black and silver for the LP model, ML500LP added pewter as an additional colour. The LP model is loaded with a lot of options, sport package, HK stereo, NAV, xenon lights, air suspension and tons more. I opted not for the 500 simply because I was not interested in the extra options offered like keyless go and parktronic. Also I have no idea what the list price is going to be even though my dealer says the LP model is going to be deeply discounted…I’ll wait to see it before I believe it.
