Any news on the 2012 GL's? When does the building begin? Any photo's? Any price changes? Any differences between the 2011 and the 2012? I ordered a 2012 GL350 in May hoping to be one of the first in line for this vehicle. Any post would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here is a link to some of the changes of the new 2012 GL.

Don't expect too much changes for MY12. If you want a completely new design then wait for 2013 when new, 2nd-generation GL will be coming out. May be some minor exterior and interior trim updates and a new colour or two. Other than that I can't see much change is coming. Also I don't expect the new diesel engine like the all-new ML. You'll see that in the next gen GL.

 

WHAT new diesel engine?

Just a retune of the current engine to higher power, likely in both models.

 

WHAT exactly don't you understand?? I never said the new diesel engine is completely brand new. New = revised 3.0L turbo-diesel good for 240 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque.

 

As mentioned, no major changes. A couple minor changes - it will get the horn honk when locking feature (same as other non-Alabama models), quieter locking/unlocking operation, etc.
