2011 GL

Just saw a 2011 GL450 at my dealership here in SF. Two main observations other than the new exterior mirrors: 1) new rear headrests for the 2nd and 3rd row outboard seats are massive!; 2) they no longer use gray contrast stitching on the black interior (albeit this one had the Leather Package).

Does anyone know if there have been any other changes apart from the ones mentioned in the post above?

I believe the speedometer design has also changed, unless that happened for 2010 already (instrument cluster).

2010 MB GL350
I picked up my 2011 GL350 this past weekend (steel grey/black leather) after ordering couple months ago...loving it! Actually, black leather does have contrast stitching on dashboard and some portions of seating area. I have active ventilated seats so stitching might be different on non-ventilated leather.

My 2010 GL350 with MB-tex has contrasting stitching (gray stitch on black) on the dash and seats.
