That's only if you order the snow package. It comes with vinyl floor covering s, a bra for the front grill, and a special MB embossed ice scraper as well.

I don't think so...........I actually had a conversation with
MB USA about their 2007 ad lit. that says the trans. in the GL series is equipped with a "2nd gear startup mode" and a "2nd gear reverse mode". After much passing the buck on their end, they admitted that the literature was in error.........I noticed they haven't corrected it for 2008!

Apparently, they have people who do blind copy/paste working very hard.

They forgot to mention that by adding the AMG logo to the back end of the car and the 5.5 kompressor emblem to the fender, you'd gain additional horsepower without voiding the warranty.

I thought the 550 came with 21 inch AMG Rims. Kriky - the 450 has 19 inch rims!
