2009 GL550
Great pics of 2010 GL-class

dont think I'll be trading my '09, but I really think the front bumper looks better in 2010 - more aggressive as opposed to the "smile" that the current 550 seems to have

As noted this is the Euro model - I doubt the US would look much different?

Not sure about the "twin" fog lights though...

Hard to tell from such small pictures but it looks to me as if some of the "agressiveness" has been lost on the exterior styling vs. the current GL 550.

But it's a 320, not a 550. There's large styling differences between the two in 08 and 09, so why not in 010? (I've always wondered, is it "Oh-Ten" or "Aught-Ten" or ... ?)

The day most Americans start saying " aught " will be the same day they start saying " zed " , as in " I drove a Corvette zed -aught -six ( Z06) "

FYI - you can click on the pic to make it full-screen and see in more detail.

I think the 550 will continue to maintain some type of more aggressive feel (although havent seen pics), as this is the 350 Bluetec version

Looks like the 2010 GL w/ sport package will recieve the DRL LEDs incase you were wondering. The pictures show the R class with them but I saw today a 2010 GL from corperate hq and the LEDs looked pretty good.
