2008 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Review
Until a 2008 M-Class was assigned to me for this review, I had kind of forgotten that Mercedes redesigned this luxury SUV two years ago. Sure, I knew about the update when it was first announced, but I hadn't noticed the SUV in commercials, on the road or in weekly newspaper ads. After a long, 10-day loan, however, I started seeing new ML350s and 550s all over the Chicago area.
That bit of psychological auto trickery may already be familiar to other drivers out there, but believe me when I tell you these full-time M-Class drivers might be on to something: The new M-Class is one alluring SUV.
