I don't see it either. And as the above comment points out, the GL is 121" so it appear MT got that bit of info wrong. Changing the wheelbase of a mid-cycle refresh is a bit much to expect as well.
If the 2016 GLS63 looks this good from the front and comes with those black wheels and red calipers, I'm ordering one ASAP. That is a very attractive design.
I was also referring to the upcoming GLS refresh, not the GLE pictured above. I'm saying that if the GLS 63 looks like the GLE 63, I'm going for it and ordering a new Wagon Queen Family Truckster.
Impressive design. I too need the cargo space, not particularly a third row seat, but all of the extra cargo space behind the second row. If this is what the mid-cycle update looks like along with what I hope are some nice updates on the inside, I am in!

Ah I miss read. I'm waiting for the GLS too. If it comes this summer I will go this route. If not, I will go with the current GL model and upgrade in 2018/19.

It's interesting that they have 6 engine options (hybrid, 4 cyl diesel, 6 cyl diesel, 6 cyl gas, 8 cyl gas, 8 cyl '63'). Maybe there's hope for the 8 cyl GL450 again. Hey, a guy can dream.

A GLS 450 with a V8 might bring our buddy Brad back to the fold but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Cannon, also responsible for the entire North American market, explained the company’s new naming strategy prior to the New York show: “It’s pretty simple: GL means SUV and stems from our classic G-Class … And the final letter stands for the platform. We set our SUV entry point with the GLA. A refreshed GLK will become the GLC. Later this year the GL will become the GLS, the S-Class of our SUV lineup.”(Be prepared ---there will be a pop quiz on all this at the end of the class). … The star of the show, a plug-in hybrid offering a 329-horesepower V-6 with another 114 hp of electric power and range of about 25 km, won’t be coming to Canada in part because Canadians favour the diesel engine while Americans disfavour the diesel.
Anyone still doubt there will be a 2016 GLS? Of course, when we can order and see a GLS in a showroom is another thing entirely.
Thanks for the post rougetrooper.
This. I wonder what the "my sources say next spring" people will say now? The earlier interviews weren't enough, the document wasn't enough so hopefully now a 2nd interview will eliminate any doubt.

I know this was the case a number of years ago, but now I believe the GL350 is the hardest model to get with the longest wait time and less discounting.

No?
Not sure about the hardest but definitely less discounting at least in the NE, people and limo companies love the diesel
