I have two AMG 63's with fake tips!
Sorry to disappoint but 53 and 63 exhaust tips are fake. Perhaps it depends on your definition of fake. You can put your hands through them and they are not blocked and fumes do come out. The exhaust tips are attached to the rear bumper and not physically attached to the metal exhaust pipe nor welded on. I have two AMG 63's with fake tips.

IMO, as long as the exhaust pipes are centered on the open outlets, but with gaps and not physically attached, I would not call that fake. Fake is like on the new GLE where the outlets serve no function except looks.

Audi does that on a few models. By not attaching the exhaust pipe you eliminate a stress point and reduce the chance of rattles. If the exhaust was attached to the bumper piece it fixes that point solid at the bumper while a lot of the rest has movement. That can result in a harmonic vibration and those aren’t good for metal parts.

Cool. I understand that. That's why I posted depends on your definition of fake. Having exhaust tips not welded or connected to the exhaust pipes has been sort of considered as fake and a disappointment to some AMG owners.

BMW driver's assistance
BMW has had Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go available on the X5 since the 2011 model year. I'm not sure about the other features, but in general I think BMW keeps on par with Mercedes. The systems, of course, get more refined with each new generation.

W167 GLE options
I got up to 80k euros (backing out tax) without even trying hard. The US will of course have far fewer options and more packages but it will be very easy to rack up $20k in adds.

I agree on the pricing. There will bare bones models and a few into the $80’s. A Mercedes dealer called MB for an update at my request. Here’s the response I got:
”Hello Ron,
Mercedes USA corporate had told us next March before we can have any 2020 GLE's available to us. I'll update you when we get more information on them next year. Thank you.”
That doesn’t necessarily mean that something won’t happen sooner but might mean a DOG isn’t going to happen soon.

I'm thinking, if they release the MY2020 D.O.G. in Nov, a lot of people are going to say, "2020 coming out soon? I'll wait". Then MBUSA is going to have a buttload of unsold 2019's not to mention 2018's.
I don't know. I'm just guessing.

yes, within 50 miles range of my location, about 200 new GLE(MY18,MY19) in stock. but price range all around 60k. seems they will put a good deal on those vehicles.

The new generation GLE has a length, width and height of 4,924×1,947×1,795 mm and a wheelbase of 2,995 mm. Compared with the current GLE, the length and wheelbase are increased by 120mm and 80mm respectively. The width and height of the car are finely adjusted, increasing by 21mm and by 1mm. As the wheelbase increases, rear seat passengers can now enjoy more legroom.Another good news is that the new generation of GLE can also be equipped with a hidden third row of seats. As a result, the gap between it and the big brother GLS is getting smaller and smaller.
