The "C/S" button found in pass cars used to be "W/S" and is solely for the transmission.
There are three settings for ADS: Comfort, Automatic and Sport.
The first DVD player is in the head unit which can hold CD/DVD's at a time.
The second DVD player is located behind the front center console above the 12v outlet on the floor. It pulls open so a DVD can easily be dropped down into it.
There is no longer a player underneath the right 2nd row passenger seat. That space is now reserved for empty water bottles, loose change and the occasional french fry
NJ you are right again; the "Fake" Monroney you get at the auto show is a generalization for MY2009. It was printed a month ago prior to final options and pricing. This is why you wont see pricing or packaging (as a rule)
The car you see at the Auto show was ordered last summer (way before finalization) and built in December as a "Test" vehicle. None of those cars will be sold to the public. In fact, MY 2010 cars are now being planned and ordered for the 2009 NYIAS.

AdBlue doesn't reduce HP ratings. MB is adopting the new SAE ratings in which all car makes (from all manufacturers) have gone down. Look at Honda/Acura, Toyota/Lexus. Honda was the 1st to adopt the new SAE standards a while back.

This has nothing to do with any change in SAE ratings.

Sorry, I actually meant that the new paddles would get in the way of sight lines of the other controls. Just don't care for them sticking up when the toggle versions on the back of the steering wheel seemed fine.

Right again NJ. The NYIAS car is not the Standard car.
Skid plates are only standard on the GL550 and optional on the others.

Really glad to see MB relocate the player underneath the 2nd row seat.

I had a new C loaner for service on my wife's car a couple weeks ago...it had standard bluetooth, no puck, which i was easily able to use the "mouse" to connect to...it was great, and the connection seemed more easily established than those stupid pucks.
