Like fuel- efficient. Clean. Safe as a Mercedes. And as much fun to drive on the highway as. off-road. So, how did they do? Just ask the Awards & Automobile Journalist's Association of Canada. They named the ML320 1998's "Car of the Year." Ask the thousands of people who made the M-Class the most successful new vehicle in the automaker's 113-year history. Or just ask the Mercedes- Benz engineers, who went back and made the 1999 M-Class lineup even better with the introduction of the new, 268 horsepower, V8 Engine powered ML430. This specially-made powerplant is capable of blasting the high-per­ formance four-wheel-drive SUV from 0-100 kmh in around seven seconds and taking it to a top speed of 240 kmh. It is designed to set a new stan­ dard for performance in the sport- utility category, where "sport" is more often a label than a reflection of real performance and technology. True independence comes from 4-wheel control. When you're off­ road, the going isn't always smooth. That's why Mercedes created a revolutionary system that goes "4- wheel drive" one better. It's called 4- Wheel ETS Traction Control. And it's only available in the M-Class. Simply put, the groundbreaking new Electronic Traction System actually determines which wheels have the most traction at any partic­ ular time and sends torque directly to them. So the wheel best posi­ tioned to deliver all the push or pull you need is given the power to do it. How does it do this? By interpret­ ing data supplied by the wheel speed sensors in the standard Antilock Braking System. One of the reasons to drive a sport utility vehicle is the quest for independence. That's another quality the M-Class has in abundance. Only the M-Class has 4-wheel indepen­ dent suspension. Every wheel is free to move on its own to find optimum footing. And, when you get back on the road, the M-Class drives as smoothly as any other Mercedes. In 1886, Mercedes started the worldwide demand for more roads by making the world's first car. Then, in 1951, they also pioneered the worldwide demand for no roads at all, by introducing the legendary 4-wheel-drive Unimog. It's a direct, muddy and rugged line from that early workhorse to the M-Class. Forty-seven years in the perfect­ ing, this is the SUV that handles the road like an exquisitely engineered sedan, and handles off-road like a mountain goat. Because the M-Class is more than a sport utility vehicle. It's a Mercedes. saw* <W&a& 6eem tm m tfim m a Streams into- 40th Anniversary Sale!
