My GL450 order.....

Visited the dealer yesterday ( just moving into a brand new facility ) and they were in chaos, but they took a moment and checked the system for me...... and it said: " build the first week of Feb., scheduled for completion 2nd week of Feb. " We will see.....

If the stars ate in the right alignment and all of that......yup! Complicated build since I ordered the off road, lighting, driver asst. , parking asst, premiumm2..... Leather wrapped lower dash, running boards, leather, ash wood, and throw in Cinnibar red ....all of which that they said are "limited!" I'll believe it when a VIN appears!

On my print out it says end of January print date but going with what you said its probably delayed till beginning of February, I have all options except the B.O system, Rear Entertainment, Multi-contour seats, Night view, Power 2nd Row easy entry and wood steering wheel, I was never told of anything being limited!

I would get it if it was offered in Canada on the 350, corners flat when your getting off the highway at 60-80 mph , little or no lean. Unless you drive around allot of bends at higher speeds it wont do you any good. In the U.S you have to get ADS to get active curve, in Canada ADS comes standard, I have noticed little difference between Sport and Comfort settings.

video below, they make the vehicle without active curve look like your rolling in rough sea which is in no way true
