Is this yours? Very nice! I think in the US it's just called "Grey."

Indeed, picked it up Saturday. The wait was worth it, although the seats are a disappointment from a comfort perspective (coming from the GL with multicontour).

In the US you can get either two-tone reef grey/alpaca grey (ARTICO or leather) or grey/black (leather only). This is the grey/black.

Have you tried the Sport seats? Do they differ in fit from the standard seats?

The sport seats will be better for sure; much closer to the ML 63 in terms of bolstering. The standard seats are like sitting on a park bench - absolutely no bolsters whatsoever. They're clearly designed for the 250lb+ market!
