Pictures? I doubt this can eat into BMW, VW, Porsche, Audi SUV sales. They're become very strong now. Especially Audi.
M-Class needs to be properly branded in India.Due to the onslaught of Beamers,Audis,Porsche..Mercs are taking a beating.But to me they are still teh classiest cars.
Spotted one on Bennergatta road yesterday - a white one with registration done! that was fast, unless it was the test drive vehicle..
Have they dropped prices? 54 lakhs ex mumbai is much cheaper than what I thought it was.

im sure with just a few options itll bump up to at least 60 lacs.
I too think that the new ML can do a better sales considering the competing price tag & a very favorable reports by all the auto magazines in the last couple of month's issue. But MB India should do a strong sales campaing to boost the sale & also should provide atleast a demo ML in all dealership to make the customers feel the car. Once any one enjoy the ride quality & sleekness of the ML he'll defenetly think of it.
Checked out the new ML two weeks ago at t & t and didnt find any major differences just small tweaks here and there. Have booked one but am yet to decide the colors. Looks sweet with the amg kit and 21 inch wheels though. Can you configurate your with options in india or no? forgot to ask the dealer that. The car is extremely silent and the ride is great too and the engine has some good power.
