DAMN U US PEOPLE!!
haha

grille and pewter looks dang hot! I got to get the grille and fender flares.

the exhaust is the same right ? just different tips ?

21"s look hot but I like my 20's also 295/40 bit thin ? 20's are on 50 profile.
gives the 21's too much of gap.

Oh wait I just noticed that the grille actually looks bigger on the 550 ? I wonder if its different bumper as well ?

Starting to look a bit more Audi-ish but so much nicer with the chrome horizontal grill bars.

Sorry but the European taste is really different! MB has done it right, to give the 'PIMP MY RIDE' front to the USA!



Never seen such a ugly front!

Maybe you can order a European front on you're 550?

Some do, some don't. You apparently don't...enjoy your EU version...since you can't get the US version anyway...:-)

Yes it does...from the photos it seems to have a little more bronze in it. According to the dealer here in Atlanta, they almost couldn't give the Desert Silver GL's away. There was a Desert Silver on the lot for a good 5 or 6 months that was being used as a demo.

I would love to take credit for it, but I'm afraid I picked it up off of some Hollywood entertainment show.

Go to mbusa.com and then go to Build Your Own (BYO) section. Select GL 550 and then select OB for color. The image on page will change color. It's a pretty small image, though.

Sorry to tell you that we can get everything (and a few decades earlier) but we have a taste!

Why be bitter at someone who likes a different car..."taste" in cars is all relative. If you don't like the design of the front end, fine, but there are many on this board and other forums who think it is "hot" and other positive adjectives. Many of these fans are from Germany and other EU countries and appreciate what MB is trying to do with this particular model in the US.

BTW, you won't get this model with this grille "decades earlier." Nor will you ever get it at $76,975 per copy...
