[Resolved] What car is this?

Probably a long shot, but a friend a mine is trying to find out the make/model of the car that is in the picture. Second photo is a brightened version of the first one. I admit I'm no good at this...

Mercedes GL450 Wheel:


Mercedes ML63 Wheel:


Looks like the original picture is of a Mercedes GL because the dot in the center of the four buttons matches the one in the GL450 picture, which none of the others have. Although i'm not sure if its just because of a lack of options or whatever.

Thanks!

You guys are scary good! (that's not what she said ) After comparing to MBUSA's official photos and what you guys provided, it looks very much like a ML SUV to me due to the chrome air vent trim (R has uni-color vent), and the full leather steering wheel (GL has wood accent on top). Now I can brag to my friend about my "rented" eagle eyes, LOL. Thanks!

You are right, it is an option.
So it can be either a ML or a GL. Still, with help from you guys, The result is much closer than I expected, I had no idea WTF it could be when I first got the pictures. LOL
