Mercedes M-class has in this and its previous generation evolved to SUVs worthy of their name. The first M-Class that I had a chance to drive was the ML 430. This was in late 2007 and the car was great fun. However the interior build quality was poor, as something out of South Korea and it was a mixture of very old and new Mercedes-Benz design elements both inside and outside.
