GL550 being delivered tomorrow !!

Completely loaded...it should be a nice car [better be considering how high the sticker was]!

We were told it is the first GL550 on the west coast and in the first batch of a few in the country, I'll try to get pictures up for you guys this weekend.

Silver on Black leather interior by the way

With the new 21" wheels it looks much better and I like the revised larger SL esque style grill.

Congradulations and the new 4valve per cylinder V8 is torquey, you wont be dissapointed.

Your Brabus GL with the 22" monoblock S looks much better than a brand new GL550. if you do get a 550 make sure you go through the same mods.

Been looking on my lot for the 550 and still haven't seen one. The pics look beautiful. When the lease is up on my 450 next year I will probably jump into one of those. That is if there isn't a GL63!!!! Enjoy the new ride.

The one I saw was black/black and it was freaking gorgeous. The new 21" wheels and flared wheel arches look GREAT! The grill looked a little odd to me at first but I saw one on the road yesterday and it looked better than the regular GL450 grill. It has the chrome roof rails and side steps that were only available on the Premier Edition GL450. The GL550 also comes with a chrome strip at the base of the side windows. It showed up in the print advertising and brochures for the GL450 but none were shipped with it.

One thing to check when you get it is the side steps. For some reason, some of the GL550s have matte silver and some have chrome. Check it out and have your dealership swap them out if they aren't the ones you want.
