Canadian configurator GLS 580 and 450 live

Mercedes-Benz Canada website was just updated and has complete build and price with option details for GLS 580 and 450. Diamond White is dropped as an option. Option Pricing and Packages are very different versus US which have same government regulatory specifications in both countries (except metric measurements and languages). As usual the differences don't make sense between countries.

Mercedes GL 450

Wow.... the AMG styling and wheels are available on the 450 in Canada. Just saw it on the site. This is just ridiculous that we don’t have this options for the 450 in the US.... if my wife did not need a 7 seater for our kids, I definitely would not have gone with benz. 😡😡😡😡😡

Merc one day I hope

One dealer I talked to said it was “tradition” for all the body styling extras to be limited to the “top model”. It’s all marketing at the end of the day

At least on the ML/GLE the AMG body kit has always been available (well, not in '97 but at least since '98).
