 I am aware that other consumers have 
had diffuculties in the past regarding 
the M-class however I bought a 98, 320 
when it came out, a 99 430 when it came 
out and a 02 500 as soon as it came 
out.  I have been extremely happy with 
it and I love to see the look of 
disbelief on the faces of the Mustang 
GT drivers when off the line and to 
60mph or more they are only a distant 
memory in my rearview mirror.  I 
couldn't justify the added expense of 
the ML55, the 500 provides all of the 
power, and more, than I will ever need.
