Yes, I got one recently somewhat against my better judgement (this issue). A more sensible around-town vehicle than the GL. The belt rubs and squeaks on cold startup--30K miles before scheduled change.

Guys on the TDI forum actually try to come up with reasons belts are better, but they aren't convincing. USA needs A- and B-class.
