Model Year Question...

Can someone refresh my memory..... when does MB turn over the model year... is it early fall or mid summer? Interested in when the 2012 GL will hit the showroom. Thanks....

Im pretty sure there not coming out with a newer GL. They just came out with one. They will be coming out with the same one that's out now, but it will say 2012 on the tag. The 2012 ML is coming out this fall. Just got myself a GL550 a couple months ago, and now im about to upgrade my wifes '09 ML to the 2012 ML.

Late July early August. I'm not sure how much that varies from year to year though.

Body style is the same (essentially - minor appearance and motor changes) since it's launch in 2006 for the 2007 model year.

Supposedly a facelift for the MY3013. Most model year change overs occur end of July/first of August.

One of the nice things about the last year(s) of a particular model style is that by that year they usually have it "almost perfect"! I may opt for the 2011.
