We just picked up a 14 with auburn designo with the piano black trim and steering wheel. it was on the dealer's lot - otherwise we would have ordered it with wood trim. Good thing, because we love the piano black trim! Will post pics when it is light out again. FWIW, the $4800 is completely worth it!

Nice avatar Trimmer - a friend of mine (38D) used to have it!

What additionally does the designo package offer ??
What is different about the designo steering wheel ??
Thanks for the assistance
My 2014 GL 450 came in last week and when it was being prepped I collected all the production paperwork pre delivery. The vehicle is great and a substantial improvement to my 2007 GL. Of significance and interest was the designo seat manufacturer. They are Faurecia and if anyone is interested their site is: http://www.faurecia.com/en
