Reread what Fab wrote in post #1 when he started this thread. It says internal Mercedes bulletin. Deliveries begin in March. What more proof do you need?

You are correct I order in July and delivery took place in November!

Deliveries will begin in March.

This does not mean what you order will make a March delivery.

Anyway just wanted to know is this the only refresh we gonna see\have for next 5-6 years or we gonna get a new body\interior re-design after 2 more years that is in 2018/19? Little confused on this....

Thanks

JoeMa

Just a guess but I would think the next full redesign would be a 2019 model since the trend has been a new model every 6 years and the current X166 was born in 2013. But just a guess since MB can do whatever they want or whatever the market dictates.

Thanks for the reply, I too think it would come out as 2019 model year not early because with this refresh they changed a whole lot apart from exterior such as Transmission and interior so I believe they gonna hold off any new stuff until 2019 and I am assuming we can order as early as 2017 Dec or 2018 Jan-Feb if any for us to get the delivery of 2019 by Aug /Sep 2018.....

As Its been a year to my 15 550 I guess holding off until 2018 sounds like a plan as the vehicle would still be under factory warranty and can still get good bucks compare to 4 year old WO factory warranty my 2 cent......

Also just noticed your Display Pic seems like you already made your mind for the next car

I test drove the GLE and the new console design is a recipe for rattle!
Hopefully they do a better job assembling the GLS than they did for the GLE.

Sadly the GLE did have console rattle issues at 1000 miles; coming from the standoff screen design. Dealer can't fix it because that's how it's designed; cheap plastic.

My son has the new C-Class with the same display and at 15K miles there is not a single rattle. Of course a car here and there could have a rattle but I wouldn't think its a wide-spread issue. I test drove a GLE as well it was very quiet, more so than my GL. MB has embraced the new floating display so I'm thinking they'll get it right.

The new Kid-On-The-Block - enthusiastic - but NO there is not a "console rattle" endemic in the GLE - that part is nonsensical.

Can anyone confirm if the ordering guide is out yet?

I'll just have to see it in person. The camera angle on your photo does a good trick. The other photos were not too impressive-something about the face. It may be that if I stare at it long enough, I'll learn to like it; kinda like having 10 beers+a few shot, then looking at fat chicks.

But then you wake up with that fat chick.....

Same thing with this...if you don't like it, you'll see it every AM in your garage- without the benefit of 10 beers/shots.
