Pull the trigger today for a GLE 450. They were not interested in talking any deal other than my USAA discount. They did not even want a deposit they are so sure they can sell it if I (actually it is for the wife) decide not to take it.
Lunar Blue Metallic, Espresso Brown/Magma Grey leather.
Got the MBUX Tech Package,
They said it would be built 1st Decade of April and delivered in late April. I am hoping for June.
This will be our first MB and we are looking forward to it.

They listed Burmester Surround Sound separately but the website had it as part of the Premium Package. On the dealers list the two added to the website price for the Premium package so I guess it doesn't matter.Heat and Cool Cupholders,

I really want the massaging seats but I believe I need to choose Nappa Leather to get it. The online configurator requires black/grey Nappa when you try to add the massage seats. The dealer guide just says you need leather seats. Right now I have MB-Tex on order but I have time to change. Nappa seems too expensive to me but I would consider the regular leather. Anyone notice any difference between MB_Tex and the regular leather (non-Nappa) in terms of look/feel? Is there any benefit to upgrade to leather (I'm getting Macchiato) besides getting massage seats?
My GLS order also has the massage seats with black non-nappa leather.
As far as feel. The leather feels a little bit softer than MB-tex but not a huge difference in this generation. In previous generation, leather was much softer than MB-tex. I have not seen nappa leather in current gen so can't comment on it.

The DOG is clear that you can get the Multicontour with massage (399) with either the 20XA regular leather or 958A Nappa. However, you also need P64 passenger memory, 401 ventilated seats and, at a minimum, 902 rapid heating. So you're looking at $1,100 + 1,620 + 350 + 450 = $3,520 + whatever 902 costs as a standalone. Not inexpensive.

The rapid heating was $500 in April when I took delivery. I’m not all that impressed with the seats, I don’t use them that much. But they were required for another package I wanted and as Greg pointed out one option requires another.... and another. When you are spending $75-85 thousand it’s a small percentage of the total so why not?

I have the MB-TEX seats and the material is fantastic IMO. I actually like it better than leather. Not sure how it will hold up long-term, but currently it feels great.

Brand new DOG - 01.03.2020
Finally not "preliminary" any more after 13 months! They list curb weight, but not cargo capacity.
This is a completely new format. I uploaded the largest I could (original is 25 Mb). It reads correctly for me in both Acrobat & Bluebeam. The page length varies dramatically, which means you may need to play with the magnification. Easier to read on a computer than mobile.

Has anyone noticed that there is a significant draft inside the vehicle? On my recent 1,000+ mile drive to and from Canada, I could feel the cold air coming in from outside, as soon as I would rest my elbow on the window sill. It was especially strong around the lock knob. Noise insulation is great - how does all this cold air get into the vehicle?
