It has chrome parts on the plastic grill. Not "made" of chrome of course but there are strips of chrome for the visual effect.

It is too bad these nice vehicles have a little too much plastic - how nice would it be if the grill were aluminum at least and then painted. It would be stronger, more resilient, and never rust. For a nice optional appearance they could be polished aluminum too.

The good thing is that the G550 also has all those nice features now too. The amg has alcantara headliner and different leather but they are otherwise the same.

While the G-Class retains its iconic, blocky and strange styling, the car has been thoroughly updated in every way. In the department of G55 AMG cabin technology, there are heated and cooled seats, leather and wood trim appointments throughout. Mercedes Benz has worked for years to perfect its Navigation and human-car relations system, dubbed COMMAND APS. In the 2009 MBZ G55 AMG application, the system features a 6.5 in color screen and a 4 gigabyte onboard hard drive for storing music files and other data.

OK, you can cut and paste but what does this have to do with the OP's inquiry?

But aluminum is a lot more expensive than plastic! We wouldn't want to MB to have to cut profit margins, now would we?

The same? I'll assume your only referring to the interior.
