2016 2017 Builds

Hi,

Due to someone rear ending me I
may need to replace my 2014 GL350. My dealership is telling me that the 2016 build is done and over. Can anyone tell me if this is true, and when the 2017 build might start?
I am kind of specific about the features that i want/do not want so i am not sure i will find a GL on the lot that I want
Thanks
Franceca

GLs aren't being made any longer. Plant will take a little time to change over to the 2017 GLS and I've heard they'll be building GLS models in March.

yea- they have been in production and rolling off the line..
fab - question for you- pricing for a 17GLS63 vs a 16GL63 sitting on a lot- how much do think the price difference will be, provided both are priced aggresively and incentived well?
