Has anyone noticed that MB is now charging extra for the 21 MSX rims ($500)?
I figured they would charge for it sooner rather than later.

Hello from the United Kingdom....This is my Silver GL, ordered it in June 2013, and picked it up last September. Changed to it from a Toyota Prius as I had enough of the eco rubbish

One bada55 GL you have there. Enjoy your new car in good health. Also I like the change from the Prius really can't go wrong with the gas mileage. I know it helped save a lot of $$$ since your GL is expensive.

Yes that is a good way of looking at it, the low cost of the Prius paid for it...I wish Here in the UK it is a really badly depreciating car, I lost the equivalent of $29K in three years ownership...Absolutely shocking...

Anyway, I'm loving the x166 GL, absolutely do...For us it was a decision between the Discovery, the new 7 seat Range Rover Sport or the GL. Mercedes UK was willing to deal, I think it drives better, has got more space, and over here it is a lot less common than the Range Rovers...

But most importantly, my wife and I and the children really like it...

That's a lot to lose on your previous car, right?! We sold our Lincoln MKX & in 2 yrs 8 mos, we lost about $36k! I guess I should back out the value of us actually using the car during that time to be accurate. We also considered the Range Rover but the loss in cargo space compared to the GL550 made it easy to choose. Someday, I'll get the Autobiography...for now, I'm going to enjoy our beautiful Mercedes Benz!!

I would love to find out where I can get my hands on the aluminium trim rather than the tacky plastic chrome I have on my Gl.

Me too. I was initially turned off of the GL by the chrome but now I just overlook it.
