Smile New GL550. Got it last week.

Here are some pictures on the GL550 I got last week.

Black with Black
Keyless GO
Illuminated Door Sills
Chrome Handle Covers
iPOD Integeration Kit

Mine does not have ventilated seats. Saw someone here with a 2008 with ventilated seats. Are they making some with and some without?

Beautiful ride! I believe the ventilated seats for '08 are for the Canadian GL's, not the US ones.

Makes sense to me. They are made in Alabama. Why would anybody in Alabama, or any other state in the deep south or Southwest need ventilated seats as opposed to Canada.

Another beautiful GL 550.

BTW, where did you get the chrome caps for the windshield washers?

We are not used to the heat like you guys are. Sometimes, we just melt like lumps of white chocolate, only to re-congeal in October.

It's so cool to see that the chrome was waiting on arrival.

Hope you like your GL as much as the rest of us do. And, like others have said, congrats on your new ride.

Lovely GL550!!! I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do. I have the ventilated seats, and I have no clue why they would not offer it in the US, that makes no sense to me at all! Our winters are long and cold, but I'll enjoy them for the few month of warm summer that we get out here Congratulations, and safe travels!

When you purchased the chrome hood aerowings, did it include the chrome washer fluid caps as well?

Congrats...Like the other guys have said, the GL looks sinister in black (Darth Vader's SUV)...no hint of girlyman in that ride!
