Was looking at moving into a "Grand Edition" of the current ML, and had assumed that was a new faclift, but it seems that the MY2012 ML revamp will be out mid-2011 (or at least, thats press speculation). Seems like this will be a substantial facelift, if not a completely new model. Any info on this, and if the mid-2011 date is true for the UK?

If this new model is on the verge of coming out, i'd be silly to go and buy a new current version over the next month or so. Although that Grand Edition looks quite mean, especially with the new Diamond White paint.

It's going to be a completely new model, although I'm sure it won't land on our shores until early 2012. They usually run the 'Grand Edition' for about 12 months until the new model is made available.

It's likely to be new engines with lower emissions and higher bhp to go along with the rest of the range and a new dash, as the current ML stil has the Sat-Nav in the lower centre console, where as on all of the other models it sits at the top now.

The deal on the current ML's is pretty good though and as with all new Mercedes models the first years supply of the 2012 ML will be pretty limited, hence making discounts very hard to achieve.

What "deal" do you mean? The Grand Edition price? When I was at my local dealer he said order list was 6months for an ML, so I might aswell wait and get an early new ML.

Still holding out for a 2011 release!

The current finance deal, there are quite a few Grand Editions coming into the UK in the next couple of weeks so unless you wanted a completely 'out-there' spec, then there should be a pretty reasonable selection of cars.

That said though, you might still bet better off waiting for the new model, but I'm sure it wont be delivered into the UK until early 2012, if it is 2011 it wont be until Q4.
