New GL350 picked up
2 Attachment(s)
Picked up our new GL350 on Tuesday. It has the AMG package (only available in Canada) and looks awesome. Drives very nice on our crappy condition roads. It was super windy the other day and the wife said should couldn't even tell there was any wind at all. I was really happy to see that the DEF filler tube is now located with the fuel one. Only disappointments have been that it didn't come with the stop/start function like they were advertising when we placed our order. It also didn't come with the all around camera like advertised, and the speedo is off by around 5% to fast. I think it is because the standard GL350's come with 20" wheels and have a tire diameter of 30.9" and these AMG 21" wheels have a tire diameter of 30.2. I've ordered up some 19" winters that will be 30.9" as well, so it will only be off for half the year at least.

Congrats...very nice looking car.
Does anybody know why AMG package available only in Canada ? What is wrong with US population ? Looks like we don't deserve it :) |

I suspect it is so MB can differentiate the 550 from the others, and therefor justify the higher asking price. Previous 550 in USA always had an exclusive fascia/look vs the 350/450.

Previous (W164) model was selling with AMG package in Canada as well and they also have GL550. So what...MB thinks that Canadians are silly and they don't need to differentiate it ? I see no logic in that theory....

I don't recall there ever being an AMG package in US, only an Appearance Package, however I may be wrong.

No, you're not wrong and this is my point. Why we, americans, can't get GL with AMG package like canadians get? I just checked MB of Canada website and AMG package available on both models GL350 and GL450.

GL350_1.jpg GL350_2.jpg Just curious, you are missing a bunch of key "standard" features and you are not upset about it??? i.e. 360 camera, and power Easy Entry In regards to others that say why Canada gets the Sport Pkg, well look at it this way, US has much more flexibility in customizing your ride. In Canada a bunch of options are automatically bundled as standard items. Our base price on the 450 is $75900. When comparing like for like the vehicle will cost more in Canada. We also don't have access to the Active Curve System (suspension body roll control), the Off road pkg, or Designo interior option. |

I love the product....just ordered my GL450 ( 3rd one i will have owned ) and yet, can't understand why MB doesn't cater to all of their customers and say... "order what you want!" ....novel customer oriented idea! Excuse me...."Sandy" is causing a disruption!!! |

Here's some pictures, assuming I can figure out how to post pictures again. :nix:
The interior is actually darker looking than the photos show. I had to use the flash since it was getting to be low light and it washed it to much grayer than it is. |

Looks awesome, Jim! I know it's not why anyone orders it, but the drivers assistance package with distronic, covers the front emblem with a clear dome and I love the look :-). Nice bonus!

Your new GL looks great, Jim. I like the look/style of the 20 inch rims - they are really key to filling out the profile.
Thanks for posting the pictures. Kind regards |

I didnt order the GL, i just went to the Dealer on Election night and knew that this one dealer had the 450 in white. ....well my luck it had sold that morning..so my consolation prize was a Black on Black. P2 fully equipped GL 450. I called EVERY MB dealer in a 100 mile radius and NO LUCK. Either wait a month to 3 months. I couldnt wait any longer. Besides my 5 yr old saw this one and wanted to go home in this one. Now shes part of the family.
***edit*** didnt know we needed to resize pics** |

Why do people say fully equipped when it doesn't have every option?

I would guess there's very few that have every possible option. |
Ok guess we all just have different definitions of it. I consider fully equipped/ fully loaded / full option to be synonymous and often times abused by dealers as a tool to sell the car. I personally find a fully equipped car to = every single option available. =]
