1st 2013 GL Owner???

Now that the new GL has been released for sale, I can't wait to see who picks up the first one on the forum. Please share your experience with us (and photos too!).

I can't wait to hear people's first impressions. I went to Autotrader.com and searched on 2013 GL's and there's 485 listed (no GL350's) so shouldn't be too long before we start hearing about people's experiences.

Heck of a vehicle. Purchased mine 2 days ago with $ 3,000 off sticker.
Loaded with every safety feature, Auburn Leather Premium Package- Stunning color with black trim,etc,etc. Sorry I do not have list of options with me, but will post later. Best drive I have had and well suited to my "aging" skills as it truly keeps me between the ditches!
You will spend days studying (obsessively) digital and printed manuals. Christmas has come early.

Finally we have our first real owner on the forum. I was beginning to wonder if anyone was buying these . . .

Congratulations! Can't wait to see some photos when you have a chance.

So true about studying the Owner's Manuals (digital and printed). You'll miss out on a lot of features if you don't read up.
