AD_G55, you're right. Daimler just confirmed production starts in September and first deliveries in December to GCC. They also told me that the GCC spec 2010 G55 will have as standard the new leather covered dash, interior ambient lighting, and chrome package. Also, they gave me details on the new seats which I've summarized below:

- Same multi-contour front seats as the new 2010 E-Class (W212), but modified for the G-class
- Fully electric controls with revised lumbar support
- Optional ventilated seats have been improved to enhance airflow and cooling
- Some safety features from E-Class front seats not available in G-Class (PRE-SAFE, NECK-PRO, and seat-mounted airbags)
- Seat controls are from the new E-Class, better looking.
- Rear seat and rear head restraints improved to match new front seats
- If a standard leather is used, ruffled door panels replaced with smooth matching leather on the upper panels, and synthetic leather on the lower door panels and tailgate.
- If designo leather specified, than the door panels have matching ruffled leather.

Trying to get pictures, but that's all I was able to find out so far.
