(new paint work available "designo platinum magno" matt finish)

I asked about this and the dealer said that he's not sure and you cant order an 2010 model in this color....maybe its just for the new c/cls/sl amg's

jimmyg

This is a standard color for the 2010 G-Class, and both Gargash Motors in Dubai and Emirates Motors in Abu Dhabi already have confirmed production slots for 2010 G-Class in designo platinum magno.

Has anyone seen pictures of the new seats and leather dash?

jimmyg

Have been trying to get interior pics but no luck so far.

ree

I know it is in german, but that's the new pricelist with some very small images. The 2010 model also gets Ambiente light as aditional extra here in germany.

And found some pics of the MY2009 G-Class - here the Edition 30 model:









and G 55 AMG MY2009 (sorry, thought it is the MY2010 model)

jimmyg

That's the 2009 model, as production of the 2010 only begins on September 1st, 2009. Also, you'll see in the pictures above the seats are not the new design from the 2010 E-Class which is used in the 2010 G-Class.

ree

Oh many many thanks - didn't know that they are using the E-Class seats…sorry for my fault… …probably it will look more then this?!

jimmyg

Yup, that's the one.

Since the Driver Seats were just replaced ... it sounds like they did not go over well

The only change I would pay for, is the new Driver Seat ... I wonder if buying a Close-out, and replacing the Driver Seats, would be worth it?

jimmyg

The new seats come with new electronics including new door adjustment controls, so a simple swap may not be that easy. For example the lumbar support is electronic now rather than the old system which was pneumatic...so the controls are different. Also, these seats are both heated and ventilated, but use a new ventilation system which is supposed to be better than that in the 2009 model.

any news or photo's ?

jimmyg

Production of the 2010 models starts this coming Tuesday, and they'll have one on display at the Frankfurt Motor Show which starts on September 15th so we'll definitely get pictures by then.

Still no keyless go? Also headrest monitors for the little ones would be nice to come from the factory and integrated to the command. Wow I am getting old.

CLS_G_

i was insisting to have the keyless go for my 2010 G55, but the agency confirmed that it wont come

modificata

Are the alloys the same as the current 19" AMG wheels?

jimmyg

Wheels are the same as 2009 model (19"), and there is no keyless-go or factory rear entertainment system. AMG does offer a rear entertainment and communication system as part of their AMG Design Studio services (as well as custom interior, glass moonroof, and other modifications), but these are not available for US customers.

princemarko

I wish they would carbon fiber the roof to lower the center of gravity for the G55. That would be an excellent modification.

Hiper

The ventilated seats on my 09 G55 are terrible. You barely feel the cool air coming out of the seats.

As for other changes for 2010, I seriously do not see anything that is appealing enough to upgrade from an '09 to a '10 G55. The reason I upgraded from an '08 to an '09 was because of the revised front fascia, new wheels, ventilated seats (which suck), media interface, and alcantara headliner.

However, I am passing by the MB dealer here later today to finalize my SLS order... maybe if i get the same deal I got for upgrading from an 08 to an 09 G55, i'll upgrade from an 09 to a 10 A new color possibly. I like the platinum magno!

No pics of the 2010 G-class from Frankurt Auto Show yet?

jimmyg

Not that I've seen. Someone I know was at the show and asked him to take pictures, but haven't gotten any yet.
