GLE 63s and GLE450

I know its not a 212, but no category on here yet.

Saw this at my local this afternoon and my jaw dropped! Didnt expect it to be gorgeous! So much bigger than i thought. honestly i felt bad for MB when this concept came out but man o man how wrong am i? Not an X6 copycat at all!

On a side note, this will spin the heads off our AMG police here. The GLE450 has an AMG badge on the wings but not on the rear. Apparently the engine is built by AMG as well. So...would it be wrong to add an AMG badge on the rear of this?

I think both are tremendous cars. Adding an //AMG to the back of the 450 isn't quite kosher in my book. The 450 engine isn't built "one man one engine" and the car is a Mercedes-Benz rather than a Mercedes-AMG - that's why it didn't get the emblem and what the 63 is for. That said there was a GLE 450 coupe at my dealer last month that was sweet I'd likely debadge it all together if I had one.

It's new Mercedes marketing now.
They have soft AMG vs hardcore AMG.

Similar to BMW doing M235i vs M2

Really sexy! I didnt get to see the GLE that would replace the ML but these coupes are stunning! The 63s was sold for AU$240k while the red 450 was sold for AU$180k. Very expensive toys!

If im lucky enough to afford even the 450 with AMG package. I wont debadge it as the car came with it and i have been very proud of my AMG badge on my C so if and when, that badge is a keeper. But i definitely wont add a rear AMG badge.
