2021 GLE 53 coming stateside...eventually

Sorry if its been mentioned before, but I haven't seen it in recent threads.

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a26551372/2021-mercedes-amg-gle53-photos-info/

I'm considering a fairly well optioned GLE450, and I've priced them several times with the build it yourself page (mbusa) and the speadsheet from the other thread. This might be a better option for those not in a rush. If this is made in Germany instead of the South (which I doubt) I'll buy it for sure. I'll have to google around to see if AMGs are built outside Deutschland.

I thought all GLE’s were assembled in Alabama. The AMG engines come from Affalterbach, Germany, I think.
There is a GLE 53 thread where the article was mentioned along with several others.

All mb suvs of the ml/gle gl/gls r class models have been built at the alabama models for worldwide production since 1999....

C models were recently added to the alabama plant for us production.

Glc gets built in Germany or outsourced to fjnaland for excess demand.

No need to worry about the alabama plant I think.

Amg models are built on the same line...my ml55 was no special 🦆😭

The g wagen is still built in graz Austria.
