Mercedes GL-Class facelift latest spy shots

[golf claps]

It is not Norway, it is Sweden. The north of Sweden is the place where nearly 100% of all car winter testing take place!

the GL has already been facelifted in Australia

"Face lift?" I'd say "tweak," at best. One manufacturer stands out as the best at using VERY well-designed, good-looking LED lamps to tweak a current design: VOLVO. If you have seen the rear lights on 80s, and XC70s. Bright, dramatic, and evenly-lit. These units are not a simple series of nine dots (Toyota Highlander and Camry Hybrid), or better-but-still-dot-matrices (Caddillac CTS, Escalade, STS; BMW 6-series). But I digress. May be a moot point anyway, as Ford may be looking to jettison the brand. Volvo will survive along with their other lines of business (trucks, buses, marine, heavy industry).

Mercedes with more of the LED foglamps. I think they will be unvailed on all models simultaneously. I've never seen a manufactuer do anything so expensive before. They must have an interesting deal with the supplier(s) for this to make any financial sense.

still looks pretty bad

yes bad
