Two things:
1. On the build of the GL550, it says that Easy Entry is included:
2. On the build, the Auburn/Black doesn't look two toned like it did in early leather picks. It's all the darker color (which I prefer). If anyone gets the MY14 GL550 in Auburn/Black, can you confirm?
1. On the build of the GL550, it says that Easy Entry is included:
"60/40-split 2nd-row seats with EASY-ENTRY
Standard
With more than 38 inches of legroom, the spacious 2nd-row seating offers generous space for three passengers. The seats recline to 10 positions or fold flat in seconds in a 60/40-split, for flexible cargo space as well. An EASY-ENTRY feature on both sides eases 3rd-row access from either the right or left rear door.
So I shouldn't have to pay the fee? The build though does show it as a selectable option for $400.Standard

The $400 option adds the POWER button to that function when folding (it is still manual to return it to the regular position). Although it is neat to watch in action, it's not worth the trade off on the car seat / fixed headrest issue.

Easy entry is included in all GLs in a manual lever. This is how it was in the X164. The manual lever did the same thing. The new X166 has the manual lever on both sides now.

went in and order my 350 today, and SA wasn't sure so I decided to keep power entry off since I didn't want to deal with the headrest issue. It wasn't so bad to manually fold the seat.

A gaggle of MB's
Tuck - what your dealer "meant" to say is that they can "unlock" the headrest from the motorized mechanism, so it will be your choice to manually lower/lift the headrest - or your choice to remove the headrest now that they are "unlocked". Make sure they give you the"locking parts" they remove, keep in a small baggie.

What does 'release date delivery' mean? I was told that if we ordered now (and they didn't get another order before mine), we might have a car in December.
It's a little uncomfortable to order a car that we can't test drive first and the price isn't set.
I guess I don't understand the order process.
