It looks like dark green with a slight hint of brown. It's a super color. I saw the 450 in it and wanted to get that but it would've been a hella wait for it...

Here's what VB looks like in the snow.

Hope you like it.

Gentspy,

Just being a bit silly in my last post. Below are some better pics for you to take a look at. If you get VB, you'll be amazed how it changes color throughout the day. I promise it'll never look as hideous as the colors on the MB web-site.

Best Wishes!

thank you so much Stumblefoot, 50 days ago, I ordered a ML500 4matic at a MB dealer, after a few days, I heard ML-class have a facelift but no one can sure entry date, so I Canceled that order, then I order a GL550 4matic from a Import car co.

Usually the most color of GL-class are Black or silver on the road in China, so I decide choice a defferent color, from mbusa build your own system, I saw VB color like a verde green, then I choice this color, but today I saw VB you show me more like Black, Surprise but I can accept that.

the price of GL550 4matic I order is 1,330,000RMB without tax, about $190,000 US dollars, and I need 70 working days for delivery time.

show you my Contract and option details if you understand Chinese writing, thank you very much

Congrats Gentspy and you're going to love your GL. I feel for you though... $190K is a lot of dough and I could get two of them for that price here in America.

I promise you'll love the Verde Brooke color. It truly is astonishing how the color changes. Sometimes it'll look black, other times it'll be a beautiful brown, and last, but not least, you'll be amazed when you see it turn a deep and dark rich green color.

Have fun counting down the 70 days!

Here's a verde brook GL of mine in the winter.

It does 'change' color depending upon the conditions. You'll notice on this cloudy, cold day it looks almost black.

On sunny days, it's like Stumble shows.

That's awesome Gentspy. Your 550 leaves California tomorrow for China! Only 3 more weeks to go.

With all of the train issues Nevada Jack and I had with our 550's, I hope the cruise for your 550 goes much smoother.
