WAY:

Oh man, this is cool indeed!  I know a couple of guys here who wants one badly, but you can't buy them here.  Congrats Mike, GREAT choice of car once again!  (although there is the suspect choice of the Vauxhall of late lol).

Hi WAY,

They are not officially available here either, I had to go through the local head office for MB. It can be done.

Here is the document for the RHD versions.

G 55 AMG



Modification year 2009-1 brings with it a series of equipment modifications for the G-Class. Seating comfort in particular, has been improved.


Standard equipment

  • Improved front seats developed according to the newest ergonomic standards, with improved seating comfort and more lateral support
  • Electrical lumbar support
  • Rear seats and rear head restraints matching the design of the front seats
  • Aux-in connection in the glove compartment
  • Designer key - The ignition key familiar from many of the passenger car series will also be adopted for the G-Class.
  • Ambient lighting in door side panelling, door panel unit, front and rear foot wells and centre console stowage compartment
  • Leather-covered instrument panel, black
  • The Chrome package comprises:
    1. Radiator grille with chrome inserts
    2. Chrome-framed automatic transmission selector lever
    3. All-round chrome trim on wood cover of seat adjustment switch panel
    4. Chrome ring around the loudspeaker mesh in the front doors
    5. Door sill panel in load compartment with "AMG" lettering

 




New front seats:

The G-Class will be equipped with the front seats of the new E-Class (W212) in a G-Class specific variant. These front seats developed according to the latest ergonomic findings provide improved seating comfort and lateral support. The electric lumbar support is included in the basic
specification.

The functionality of the optional multi-contour seats has been further improved; the controls have been adopted from the E-Class, and have a substantially more attractive feel and appearance.

The rear seat unit has been redesigned in line with the front seats, also the head restraints.

The decorative seams previously colour-coordinated with the leather colour will be omitted for all designo upholsteries. As in the E-Class, the decorative seams will always be in contrasting "black", with "pebble" as the contrasting colour in the case of single-tone designo leather in black.
