2009 CLS63 AMG and soon to be 2011 G55 AMG
2011 G55
Hey
I have just ordered a 2011 G55 AMG through my Mercedes Dealer. I ordered the car in designo magno platinum with ivory interior and black wood.
I know that the 2010 model has a new dash and new seats as well as this new color. Does anyone know if there are any new options on the 2011 model?? I appreciate the help.

Congrats on your order. I doubt that there are new options for the '11 model. Like you said: '10 comes with leather dash, E-class modified seats; it also has the S-class interior ambient light.
ps: the black wood is actually piano black; not really wood, more like a really nice plastic. At least doesn't feel like wood in mine.

Did you get a discount now that the Euro has fallen drastically?
Also, what was the final price you bought the 2011 model?
I will be booking one in a few months.

Auto sales are still down and it's a buyers market. Many dealers are offering their 2010 G inventory below invoice. I don't believe we currently have confirmed specs or prices in the US on the 2011 models.

If the rumored front-end facelift does happen for the 2011 model to conform to EU pedestrian safety regulations, then the brush guard will probably be dropped. Without the brush guard, there's no point (aesthetically) of having any lamp guards elsewhere.

Do they hit them and measure how bad it was
?The rumored face lift pictures of G55 show that the front will be less boxy and will have less angle with respect to the ground. They might as well reduce the weight of the car cause that adds a lot to the strength of the hit during the accident.

But they were removed due to Federal MY'11 guidelines.
Brush guard has not been allowed on EU civilian 463's for many years now. They got around the Pedestrian redesign simply because of its low volume status...that is until the 2015 announcement.
MBUSA was getting them installed just because they could; primarily because they thought it would help justify the +$100K price tag.

Otherwise the Baumuster would change to something like V/W464.
What all other brands call a "model year changeover" (new wheel design / new front grille) The G folks call a "facelift".
