The Insurance Company paid me soon after it was stolen, so it was theirs at that point ... but it did turn up, and from what I was told, in excellent condition

Same here. The insurance company is leading a 1 month investigation then will pay me the full purchase amount. At this point, I can care less if they retrieve it or not.

Getting a new G55 this month.

I am tempted by that blue color that's available for the 2010 model.

First deliveries of 2010 G55's have already happened in Germany, first shipment expected to arrive in the UAE in the middle of next month. I read somewhere that one had already been imported to Dubai by a used car dealer, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the photos

I though they were going to change the spare wheel cover as well with a larger MB Star. It seems they changed their mind.

I was in San Diego last week and checked with a dealer there and they are getting their first 2010 models in November or early December. They didn't have a price yet and the MBUSA website hasn't been updated to reflect the new model.

Jimmy,

On page 24 of the catalogue, do you know if the G55 has always (recent years) been equipped with the 4ETS technology or this is something new to the 2010 model.

I assume the 2009 model also has it.

Thanks

Decided to wait on the 2010 model. I think it's worth it.

Will be black on black with piano black trim.

Easy grasshopper! Based on your posts #80, 87 one would only assume you were getting a 2010.

A seriously great update would be to have a ski bag in the middle of rear seats and folding middle rear seat.

4ETS has been there for many years, since 2001 I believe. It has been updated slightly since then, most recently in 2008 (?) to add hill-start assist. It's basically just a modified version of their traction control system to control wheel spin in off-road situation.

2013 G 63 AMG
For those of you living in the Middle East, a limited edition G55 will be launched at the Dubai Motor Show in December commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of the G-Class:

Also making its first appearance in the region will be a special Middle East-only version of the much-loved G-Class SUV that is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

Limited to just 79 vehicles – to mark the 1979 date of production - this G-Class will come in G55 AMG guise and feature special mango allanite grey paintwork, 19 inch titanium finish alloy wheels and a unique interior that will make this regional best seller even more desirable.
More details on the Mercedes-Benz Middle East fan page on Facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?not...0432217&ref=mf

UPDATE: I got some more details on the 2010 G55 AMG "EDITION 79":
- Designo Allanite Grey Magno matte paint
- Carbon fiber trim parts
- Special exterior chrome package: indicator, rear lamp, and underside protection.
- 19-inch AMG wheels with titanium finish
- Bull bar
- Protection strip in carbon fiber design
- Designo leather two-tone (Sand/Black)
- EDITION 79 logo

This model is limited to 79 units for the Middle East market only, and carries a premium of about $15k over the standard 2010 G55.
