What is the comfort package? Why would you need seats from the comfort package if they are switched with AMG front sport seats?

The Comfort package seats (PA1) adds ventilation. Those components are common to the AMG sports seats.

I guess that's standard equipment for US bound cars...

The new generation G-Class in Beijing
http://youtu.be/4K3scZu9As0

The new generation of the G-Class has been an icon in the automotive world since over 30 years. It is timeless and yet very modern, just like our Mercedes-Benz reporter Torie who visited the premiere of the off-road vehicle in Beijing.

Video includes interview with Dr. Z and shots of a G65 exterior and interior.

Magno colors no longer available for initial US builds.

So, I dropped by my dealer today and we looked at the build options on the computer to change my color to magno platinum. Well apparently they keep changing things weekly. There is no longer a choice for designo magno platinum or black. It was there last month. I remember reading something about limited initial availability for the magno colors. That's a bummer! So I've kept the color platinum silver for now. Well check the build options every few weeks until just before the order can't be changed. Let's see if the magno colors show back up.
