We waiting for the 63 AMG, is it worth it?

This drawn out release of information on the GLE63 AMG is painful. Especially knowing that we would have had info on the vehicle already if it was not for the GLE53.

With the competition out and about with options such as as the Cayenne Turbo, Bentley and even the in-house 53 AmG, there are tempting offers to consider instead of waiting for the 63.

So my question is, is the GLE 63 AMGs worth the wait?

Link to a SUV comparison, where the GLE 63 should be featured.

Only you can answer that. If you really want it, wait. If not get something in the interim that will suffice and change when it comes out.

Sure --- get a GT 63 s and call it a day - having the Nurburing King 4-Door Euro Coupe will take the pain out of it don't you think ?

Circle back on the new GLS63 is like 1st Quarter next year...

Given the recent 580 announcement does this suggest that the 63 may be hybrid as well?

I would bet so (mild hybrid). So many advantages to the 48v system and an electric supercharger may be involved.

At that point, I'd wait for the new aston martin dbx that should share the engine with the GLE 63 amg. Probably the price differences won't be so consistent

Wait could be a while. Visited dealer today and he showed me bulletins which suggest the GLE 580 will be out Q419. He thinks the 53 will be out early 2020. So could be a year before we see the 63.

LOL, the fuel filler door has camo. What could be so different or new about a fuel filler door that it needs to be hidden from public view before release?

I'm sure they removed camo wrap surrounding the fuel door, and didn't bother with removing the wrap from the flap itself.

Here is the GLS 63 uncovered at the factory, as it’s a test car there are no badges. This was many months ago and is surrounded by the covered GLE Coupe before they were revealed.

The GLS 580 is a good indication of the beast performance the GLE 63 AMG will be
