Not in the USA.

Of course in the rest of the world yours is a GL500 in any event.

That's pretty reasonable for Moscow given the earnings in that market.

In the rest of the world the GL550 doesn't come with 21" AMG alloy wheels with low profile 295/40 tires.

In Canada it does, and the off-road package is an option.

Looking at Gentspy's pics, it looks like in China also 550 comes with AMG wheels and low profile tires.

I hear ya. But, if you look at his pics, you will notice there are way too many cars at the his "dealer" for this to be a grey market operation, IMO. Looking at pics of his sticker, etc. too lead me to believe that this may not be grey market.

Since the 450 is the only official import according to the MB China website, lack of metric guages, lack of international pictograms on the controls, I would have to say it it certainly a US car. How it got there, only Gentspy can clarify, but the 450 stickers for 1,350,000 RMB, IIRC more than he paid.

If you know someone and are prepared to pay him, you can get what ever you want in Moscow. I have a close friend who is project managing the construction of a building in Moscow. He says that country has got scams and corruption schemes going on that we are generations behind in even dreaming up here.

The "average" Russian isn't driving a GL and the ones who are getting them don't have to worry about the cost.
