16 and 17 difference
I know this has probably been discussed a while back
but real quick, besides the outside fascia, and the silly stick on screen infotainment system is there any other differences.
Seating is the same, getting in and out of the back third row is the same.
drivers assistance packages etc same? anything else major?

The US dealer order guide (option selections, etc) but without pricing is in this thread:

The big mechanical change is the switch to the 9G transmission, but yes, it's a "refresh" of the GL and is still a X166.

double sun visors are a biggie....my 2012 E has them
dont care for aesthetic aspects..
wonder if the 9g is worth waiting for 7g tranny
i take it rear seat functionality and the headrest issue with easy entry will persist on?
I hate the touch pad, its horrible, we have it in the S class and used it with loaner C classes...such a waste
