Got the word today ..... my GL450 is "in production" and looking at an approximate Feb. 15 arrival date!! Thats better than the "early March" I had been looking at! Nice to know that all the "goodies" I ordered made it in the package !

I have enjoyed it..... Because of the "metallic" addition to the paint it has a sort of "liquid" look to it when it is clean and the sun is shinning. Very impressive..... That being said, any black paint is very demanding in that it only looks good when it's clean!

Congrats, it's been slow in coming, but it's worth the wait.

Yes indeed! 3rd time I've done it..... But the forum has made the waits bearable ( thinking back to Nevada Jack and some of those guys ) The 07 was a great start, the 11 has probably been the best SUV I have ever owned and I am hoping for the luck to continue! If it were not for the enticement of all the new tech, ride improvements, etc., I probably would have kept the 11 for a few more years.

Hey .... welcome back carperson! I had 53k on my 07 when I traded on the 2011....now have 32k on that one and planned on putting a bit more on it BUTTTT the refinements and new tech on the 2013 were too hard to resist.... The GL "is what it is" and "does what it does" better than any other SUV I have ever owned. There are only a few of us "early adopters" still left here!
