Soon: 2020 G63 Currently: 2016 GLE63 SUV + 97 F250HD, Before: 2013 G550, Range Rover Sport, 1984 CJ7
Looks ok to me, not loving the chrome fog light cover on the front. It looks like a bigger GLE or a smaller GLS with an off-road package. I am not sure how i'd end up in this personally... Alternative to the Toyota SUVs? Grand Cherokee? Not sure.

Nope, in terms of the size of this new beaut, the GLB is a half-notch up from Merc’s tiniest baby-G, the GLA.
Here is what Mercedes sent out in their GLB marketing spiel early this morning, from the blurb in my email:
“We asked ourselves whether there is still space between the GLA and GLC in our successful SUV range. The Concept GLB is the answer to this question.”
The real story this morning about the GLB is the car media blokes got this story completely wrong. They’ve been teasing us for the past 1.5 years with spy pics and videos of GLB test mules driving on tracks and public roads, sporting minimal camo, saying the GLB will launch in the US late summer 2019, or at least by this fall, at the latest. Yeah, right, like a frikin’ concept car will hit the dealers any time short of 3+ years from now. I was hoping to trade in my wife’s GLE on the new GLB. She doesn’t care for parking the bulbous GLE in tight city streets.

Made for tiny short legged people.

Jeez, these vehicles just get smaller and smaller. I know the planet is important, but what about us tall guys. Soon we won't fit in anything ![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
