with official pricing...Base of $54,9...better than I had hoped, i gotta say. And option pricing looks lower than it did 6 months ago on the R, so they definitely got the message.

Let me know if you are interested in details and i will try to post.

I am interested in details!

I just found out a few hours ago that the MSRP will be 54,900 plus 775 destination. Glad to know my source was accurate.

Just the cheer you guys up over there in USA.

The GL450, in Europe, pre-tax (and we all pay about 16->20% tax on top of this) is 66900 EUROS. That is about $81000 + 16->18% tax

Its even more expensive in UK, where we pay more to have it made right-hand-drive.

You can download price lists from www.mercedes.de
Just remember that PKW is passenger car, and its relatively easy to find the pdf pricelist

They are in Euros (i.e cover most of Europe), and show ex-tax and with the German tax of 16%.

UK prices are higher (because of a RHD supplement), and in UK our tax is 17.5% -

Belgium VAT is 21%, France 19.6%, Ireland 21%, Italy 20%, Netherlands 19%, Finland 22%, Hungary 25% etc

Fuel here in the UK is $6.58 per gallon ... (unleaded 95 octane) because of lots of other taxes.
