sixcyl ◊ 2006-06-24 07:41	Ninja turtle ML320... buurk !
J-2 ◊ 2006-06-30 03:15	I don´t understand, this is the first ML debut, and in the movie all 2 Ml´s got destroyed...
CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2006-06-30 10:21	why do you think that is strange J-2?
antp ◊ 2006-06-30 10:46	Pictures may have taken before the movie, or (much more probable) they made more than two ML. When you see one (or N cars) in a movie, they usually have lots of identical (or nearly) cars for use, especially when they have to destroy them.
appassionato ◊ 2006-07-25 19:19	Yes, a 1997 special.

truckface ◊ 2007-05-07 16:31	The Mercedeses in this film was refered to as Mercedes-Benz AAV(All Activity Vehicle), probly because this still was such a new SUV at the time. Allthough i don`t understand why the bumpers look like they do in this movie! But it`s probably some kind of armour. -- Last edit: 2007-05-12 11:45:00

Eddie Stockman ◊ 2007-08-02 22:40	iI don't like how the one w/ the hatchback gets all the attention, the "truck" version was the one holding that beautiful RV.

iheartford27 ◊ 2008-03-07 04:14	wat was the point of making 3 but only using 2
Bricklin1990 ◊ 2008-03-11 03:56	They should've used camoflauged Jeep Wranglers instead......
iheartford27 ◊ 2008-03-26 01:13	http://www.museum-mercedes-benz.com/img/template2/323_zoom.jpg Here is a picture of the third mercedes not used in the movie....which i still don't understand what the point of doing that though, but...enjoy

CrazyCars ◊ 2008-08-27 20:14	I visited the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart today, the car still looks cool as ever.
Ingo ◊ 2008-08-27 22:28	CrazyCars wrote I visited the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart today, the car still looks cool as ever. It shall be good, I've heard. Have you seen the 300 SEL 6.3 [W109]? It's license-plate (H-SL 824) is a present from me.
hank ◊ 2008-08-29 17:45	I believe the "truck" or "convertible" version is in the Mercedes Benz Museum in Rastatt, Germany. Here is a picture. Link to "images.google.com" -- Last edit: 2008-09-02 14:00:01

A friend of mine has controlled, that it was mounted at the 6.3. Only for that car I gave the plates, my father had in 1978-1980 at his 1973 VW Passat - 27 years they were hanging in my room. The other old-style licence-plates, you could see in that museum, were also given by us license-plate collectors.
dnoginizr ◊ 2009-02-08 21:45	wow ive never seen these pictures i have some more of two of the cars that are in the Mercedes studio back when they were made my dad worked on them i need to find the CD they're on ill post them when i do

thestig8 ◊ 2009-06-14 01:59	there is one in the alabama plant visitor center
Kazimann ◊ 2009-07-26 08:07	There is a scene in the film showing these Merc's having manual transmissions. Did US spec versions of the ML ever get manual 'boxes? -- Last edit: 2009-12-25 13:23:57
I_AM_THE_GUYVER ◊ 2009-07-30 23:04	Yea 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic
hank ◊ 2009-08-03 03:11	I don't think the U.S. got the 5-speed manual.

iheartford27 ◊ 2010-12-04 11:19	ok two things i dont understand about these cars... 1. why does the SUV version have that random bar on the front passenger side 2. why does the pickup truck completely open in the back...like come on especially in the raining scene with all the windows are open!! whats the deal with that?!?
Kenster102.5 ◊ 2011-01-30 19:18	Do you think that ML they used could actually pull that Fleetwood RV out?
camo_rvs_rock ◊ 2011-02-07 04:31	Kenster102.5 wrote Do you think that ML they used could actually pull that Fleetwood RV out? I would think no because the weight of the rv would lift the ml up and the mud wouldn't give it enouf grip
AsianInferno ◊ 2011-02-25 07:54	Does anyone know where exactly each of the 3 are? I'm assuming there are several at the Universal Parks? Or are those fake markups, like the Explorer from JP1?

The "bar" on the side is a snorkel so it can drive through deep water with out the engine flooding with water. 2. its just the design to haul more cargo, he left the windows down because he probably didn't care I'm guessing

I believe the real ones are at the mercedes museum,The one at the universal studios in cali is a mock up you can tell because the paint is off, and the one @ universal Florida is also a mock up I think they have 2 truck versions there.
kwijibo ◊ 2011-10-08 18:59	One was an observatory, one was meant to be a laboratory and I believe one was a convertible. Two are on display in Universal Studios, 1 in Orlando and 1 in California. The laboratory car is currently at the mercedes benz museum in Stuttgart. Here's a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH9NTOEcj_8
carsgalore78 ◊ 2012-07-14 22:56	Wait a second how can this be a 98 mercedes when the movie came out in 97 and even at that they started filming in 96 so how can this be a 98
Ingo ◊ 2012-07-14 23:02	Because they were pre-productions-cars, given by Mercedes Benz. You should hope to spot something like that somewhere, somehow. It can bring you real money, as for example /vehicle_2423-Mercedes-Benz-E-500-W211-2002.html
Neptune ◊ 2012-07-15 01:36	The 1998 Mercedes-Benz ML (W163) had permanent four-wheel drive featuring a two-speed dual range BorgWarner 4409 transfer case with open center differential. Noted for introducing the first application of four-wheel electronic traction control. Since the torque of ML’s engine was fed to all four wheels through a system of three open-type differentials, 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS) as Mercedes called it, was used to "simulate" front, center, and rear differential locks by way of ABS brake locking any of the four wheels. The ML 320’s four-wheel electronic traction control can actually be seen working in the movie, where it is "portrayed" as pulling the Fleetwood motorhome. A keen eye can pick out the change in the wheel-speed as the wheels are braked by the traction control system.
carsgalore78 ◊ 2012-07-15 17:22	Oh sorry its just because this is a 98 and they started filming in 96
carsgalore78 ◊ 2012-07-15 17:23	Speaking of this what does w163 mean?
sgtpepper1138 ◊ 2013-06-14 08:33	It's the chassis number, I have a 1980 300D which is a w123.
Army89Suburban ◊ 2013-07-11 14:45	Nobody Seems to notice that the Mercedes they show driving behind the trailer when they first get to the island is different then the one they show sitting at the campsite or pulling the trailers up over the cliff. The one in the driving scene Roof Lights are different and its missing the tool boxes mounted on the sides.
Max_S ◊ 2014-01-20 17:52	The one in the Mercedes-Museum isn't a car from the movie. Fixing the parts on a random ML came cheaper than restoring the whole car. During the process they noticed that several parts didn't fit, as preproduction-cars partly differented from the regular ones. Also, the one in the museum is only a mock-up, as it has no engine.
Gamer ◊ 2014-06-29 19:46	Pre-Production
CRAFT372 ◊ 2015-06-04 19:51	The cars were sadly not used that much in the movie so I think that they should get just 3 stars -- Last edit: 2017-05-03 19:40:44

Kowalski5599 ◊ 2024-07-17 20:17	When Richard Schiff's character is using the ML320 to pull the RV, we see him shift manually, however he is pulling in reverse and when he shifts it looks like he goes into second gear. Also, before shifting he pushes a button. I don't have any experience with these ML320 or Mercedes inngeneral, can someone tell me why he shifted into second while in reverse? What was the button? Thanks.
