This is my baby:) COMFORT: Technically, the ML430 is a truck. This can be easily forgotten. Large doors and a relatively low floor height make passenger access painless, and a swing-up liftgate and low cargo floor height does the same for cargo. The interior style is contemporary European luxury. Materials and finish are as expected in a premium Benz, with perforated leather seating and walnut trim on the doors and console. The instrument and control designs are different from those in the Mercedes sedans, but just as well-designed and useable. Versatility, comfort, and convenience are the watchwords. Firm, supportive, heated and power-adjustable front bucket seats and a three- place rear bench provide first-class comfort for all. The rear seat cushion is split one-third/two-thirds, with each side adjustable fore and aft. The seat back folds down in thirds. Each part can be folded, and the cushions tumble for flat-floor cargo hauling ability. Convenient storage spaces are found throughout the cabin, with a lockable safe box under the front passenger seat most notable. SAFETY: The ML-Class vehicles have all of the safety features expected in a modern Mercedes-Benz. A safety cage and crumple zones protect occupants. Standard four-wheel antilock disc brakes with the "Brake Assist" emergency stopping system are further enhanced by traction control and the "ESP" stability control system. ROADABILITY: On the road, the ML430 feels much like a Mercedes- Benz sedan with sport-package suspension tuning - firm but not uncomfortably so, with little body roll and good steering response. It does not feel like or handle like a typical, truck-based SUV. Much credit is due to the rigid structure from its box-section frame and unit- construction body, and, unusually for a large SUV, fully-independent suspension. This combination means Mercedes sedan-like handling, even on bumpy, twisting secondary roads, and low noise levels. A short jaunt through muddy Vermont fire roads during the press introduction showed the ML430 to be quite capable of the sort of light- to medium-duty off road use that some will see in real life, and to be eminently comfortable while in such use. PERFORMANCE: The 268-horsepower version of the 4.3-liter V8 that gives the ML430 its name puts the "sport" in "sport-utility." If external differences between the ML320 and ML430 are subtle, the distinction upon depressing the throttle pedal is not. Even at idle, there is a feeling of great power. The ML430 has plenty of power for everyday driving, even if that includes high-speed stretches of Autobahn. Power is available instantly and there is no mistaking that there is a healthy V8 under the hood. The 5-speed automatic transmission uses adaptive logic to vary its shifting to driving conditions. The 4-wheel drive system works with the traction control system to ensure mobility even if only one wheel has traction. CONCLUSIONS: With the introduction of the ML430, Mercedes- Benz has a strong presence at the luxury end of the sport-utility category.
