Mercedes-Benz Vehicles, Concept Cars, and the Mercedes Lifestyle

The Merceds-Benz M-class has, unfortunately, been sometimes seen as the luxury SUV choice of soccer moms. This is largely because the ML was originally launched before the SUV came to be seen as more than just a mom’s transportation vehicle, and the image has stuck with the M-Class. However, the 2008 ML550 goes a long way toward changing that image.

The 2008 Mercedes ML550 has a 5.5 liter V8, and is the fastest non-AMG M-class Mercedes vehicle ever. It has excellent performance and a tremendous amount of power. The old ML500 had 302 horsepower, while the new 550 is capable of producing 382 horsepower. The 2008 Mercedes ML550 can hit 60 miles per hour in just 5.4 seconds, which is more than a second less than the ML500, and truly impressive for a luxury SUV.

On top of the additional power, the new M-class features upgraded front brakes, as well. There are plenty of other features, too. The interior is amazing, as befits a Mercedes. The seating positions are form and comfortable. The ML550 also provides a relatively quiet ride, with complant camping and wind-noise abatement.
