I cancelled my 2016 order when I found out definitively it wasn't a refresh. But based on the research I had done then, it seemed feasible

Thanks for this! I've been in the market for another baby seat after my son graduating out of his carrier. We have a Recaro in the SUV, but I wanted something thinner in the sedan so I could put the center arm rest down. If the Radian is a more narrow design, will definitely have to look into it.

We had 1 Recaro and 1 Radian and the power easy entry wouldn't have the clearance to fold, so we bought another Radian and now we can set them side by side on the "60". The only issue is that even they fit, I still need to push a bit on the middle Radian for the power easy entry to fold when we need to get to the 3rd row.

How have you guys remedied the issue of the second row headrests not exactly allowing a flush fit for the car seat against the seat back?

See this thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/gl-class-...drest-fix.html

Someone just reported that they have fixed this in the 2016, but personally haven't seen this or photos.
