Interesting, so massage seats and leather will become a WAY more common feature being the excluisve trim, and the pinnacle is similar to the GLE. Looks like there will only be one wheel option for non AMG Line cars, 21 inches, and all AMG Line cars will have the spoorty AMG steering wheel unless they have the piano flowing lines wood and wood steering wheel. Nice to see high end audio an option here. Also this marks the return of U38 nappa dashboards and door trim, though no mention of the MB-Tex version EDIT I just missed it it''s also an option, still that means U38 is back, and even on 450s! Exciting! Also the return of the exclusive trim (wood trim with ambient lighting on the back of the front seats).
Also, the 23s are now all black, unlike the wheels shown on launch cars which were the same ones as the current 23s. I'm not a fan of black wheels, so a little disapointed.

My only thing is you can only get exclusive nappa in black. I think it should have a few more options unless they save it for the 580.
very curious on the browns for the 63. Been waiting a long time for this

Picky comment about detail, but shows lack of attention.....21" wheels are new standard, but in schedule of standard equipment on pg 6, 20" wheels are listed.

I'm new to Mercedes and didn't remember anything about losing the spare in the 2023 DOG with the 3D System. Noticed it right away in the 2024 450 version that just came out. I'm supposed to get the #1 allotment from my dealer for a 2024 GLS 580. Waiting for that order guide to appear so I can spec it out. Have always had BMW's and Range Rovers so this will be my first MB.

Does anyone know if Alpine Gray is metallic or just flat/gloss paint without any metal flake?

The “standard” stitching pattern is pretty close in softness to the diamond one. Both very soft and high end feeling. But yes I agree, they should have a brown diamond stitch. They do on the G Wagon.

good to know it’s still soft. I’ll have to see it in person. I’m currently on the wait list for a 24, G63, gls63 and. Range Rover ( full size ). I am not sure which one I’ll take. The range is very luxury and really like it. The g 63 draws me mainly because of the full saddle interior. It’s also a cool feeling. However , I like the soft closing doors and would like to take this vehicle on road trips. My wife has a 22 GLE 63 with the beige. We absolutely love it. Other reasons why I debate the g63 vs the range since they are different

My sales rep called me on Monday to tell me that orders were open. I told him that was probably only the 450 and he said yes but he could change it to a 580 later. That sounded a little dubious to me so I'm waiting until we hear about the 580.
