Visual breakdown of new GLS

Thought this was pretty cool from Autoblog. I couldn't figure out how to embed it, so I had to do a link below. I'm always interested in the fact that these things are so capable offroad.

It does look great. I'm not into night packages but know they're very popular. What the night package does nicely with the upcoming GLS is reduce the size of the Star up front. With the silver grill surrounding the Star looks a bit out of proportion (big) whereas in black makes it just about perfect. The only thing I wish the designers did was make that rear-end a little more exciting. It looks very generic and doesn't say AMG sport or AMG either. Just my 2 cents. All-and-all, great looking SUV.

I agree with Count on the star looking smaller and better IMO with the night package. It's starting to grow on me.

The AMG 63 also has a blacked out grill and the star looks better on it as well. I really like the appearance of the AMG 63 but those bottom seat bolsters aren't comfortable for me. If only they could be adjusted (flattened) similar to the back seat bolsters.

Does anyone know of an aftermarket solution for those bottom bolsters?
