has there been any talk about the changes to the third row sunshade in MY2014? i know it's probably wishful thinking, but i'd really like to have it in our next GL. we have the sunshade in our '11 GL now and have always kept it closed for cooler car/trunk and it's very bright when you've got passengers in the third row.

i'm not sure what was the point in eliminating them for the new X166 in the first place (other than saving a few bucks)

Do you know of any standard features changes in the GL for MY14 such as new and improved Distronic PLUS, BAS PLUS, Pre-SAFE PLUS.

It looks like SO is right on the phasing out of pearl biege.
Considering that the updated Distronic and Pre-Safe features require the stereo cameras in front plus a few more radar sensors it may not be until the 2016 model year (planned mid cycle refresh) that we will see these features. The W204 has Distronic available but will solider on with the current features and we will see what the W205 has to hold in store this time next year.
