2017 GLS 550 Black Designo porcelain/black interior, night pack, chrome pack, driver assistance
Walked into dealership ... drove off with 2017 GLS 550

First time joining board. Enjoy audi board with my S6 so figured I would introduce myself. Longtime GL owner this is our third. First at the 550 level. We have two kids 6 and 3 and really love this truck. Surprised wife with car yesterday she loves it. The power and feel of 550 vs 450 is really noticeable. Also I splurged on designo porcelain interior. We have always had mb tex so this upgrade is AWESOME. Driving assistance package is also awesome i barely even have to drive it on the highway. Getting front windows tinted and dupont protection at the dealer for the leather. For now we are really enjoying it. Pics attached.

LOL i was concerned but the protection warranty by mercedes was like $600 which on the 4 year lease is good for me to have peace of mind. Also ordered car seat protectors but the seats for my wife and I are awesome.

Really pretty. I am glad you are getting the interior protected with the little ones. The DuPont product is excellent.

Beautiful Merc, you and your family will love it. We're on our 3rd GL-GLS and wouldn't want any other SUV. We opted for the designo leather this time around and love it.

Great idea. Designo interior really takes these rides to another level. I wouldn't do it any other way. You're gonna love it.

Nice rig! I know you will enjoy it. My wife has the GLS450 and every time I drive that thing I'm amazed by the comfort.

Congrats, Great car...do you mind sharing lease details?...$s/month including tax, how many months, residual, miles/month, money factor... I am looking to get out of S550 and get back to SUV. I'll really appreciate it. Thanks.

Nice looking ride, love the interior although I couldn't get myself to do such a light interior - family isn't as "clean conscious" as I am
