The M-class enters double digits.
Back in 1997, Mercedes introduced a new kind of SUV, the M-class, based not on an existing truck frame but designed from scratch to bring luxury to the SUV market. The original body-on-frame design worked so well that the first M-class won the North American Truck of the Year award in 1998.
This year, the M-class (which has since become unibody construction) turns a decade old, and Mercedes is celebrating with a limited-edition version of the ML350 called the "Edition 10" to commemorate 10 years of production. The special package takes the V-6-powered SUV and jazzes it up with gratuitous "Edition 10" badges inside and out.
The Edition 10 is a car of contrasts, painted in either Obsidian Black or Arctic White, with Macadamia and black leather filling the interior, which also gets aluminum sport pedals and an aluminum instrument-cluster surround. Black headlight surrounds, tinted taillights, and a new finish on exterior chrome pieces spruce up the exterior.
More important, the 1000 buyers who get their hands on an ML350 Edition 10 get a host of extra standard features. A rearview camera, a power liftgate, heated front seats, and a Harman/Kardon sound system are all included in the special-edition package.
The Edition 10 will cost $52,705, compared with $44,425 for a 2008 ML350.
