2020 GLE 450
Have you seen other 2020 GLE's on the road?

From the time we ordered our GLE on 3/11 until we picked it up on 6/15, I saw NO new GLE's other than those on dealer lots. The day after we picked ours up on 6/15, we spotted a new 350 on highway outside of Boston, then yesterday and today, I spotted 2 different GLE's (couldn't clearly make out if they were 350/450's, although I think one was a 450) on my drive home from work. Despite the pics of hundreds of GLE's being stored on lots around Tuscaloosa, seems like deliveries are finally starting to flow...

I see many but then again I’m in AL and close to the factory. That being said anyone interested in the new GLE Coupe??

wife spotted a prototype around this week but couldn’t get pics. We were able to get many pics of the GLS as they roamed around before release. Also have pics of the GLS AMG but can’t post those.

Have a few folks around us to usually drive the protypes so can get pics of interest is there.

I have seen only one white GLE350 in Montreal, and that was at the very end of May. I have not seen any since. Neither have I seen any while on vacation in Europe for 3 weeks in June, visiting Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Germany, Monaco, nor Spain.

It will be nice to be among the very first in the area to drive around in one in about a week from now.

Interesting! And would you say that there are more and more GLE parked in the county close to the factory? Or less and less?

Or be less of a ***** as I see these on the road. Along with many prototypes. I however have a GL and don’t care about the GLE other than the Coupe.

since i am close to the factory there are many around since the dealership is also close and owned by Nick Saban. Also see brand new off the truck G wagons with 21mi fall off said truck. That or my buddy owns the Benz repair center and the one Mercedes has used for special one off cars.

I've seen a few but got a really good luck at one while on the freeway and I was on a motorcycle. I did a 360 around it, really liked its profile. It probably had air suspension because it seemed to float. My gauge of car size is usually from my motorcycle because I get very close to them (I split lanes all the time), and it seems large yet not GLS / Tahoe like too large. I was a bit worried about the black plastic around the bottom of the front 'bumper' area but its not as ugly as it looks in photos/videos/the mbusa website.

2020 GLE 350 4Matic
When I picked up my 2020 GLE 4Matic in Fort Myers at end of April, I never saw any others. I'm on East End of Long Island for summer and they're EVERYWHERE. Also, mine has been to MB Southampton 4x for defective gas cap, nonfunctional AC vent control, redlining in 1st gear

Haven’t seen any in Central Ohio yet. But both MB dealers sell them as fast as they come in.

I have seen quite a few in the Raleigh NC area and the number keeps growing. The challenge is that Mercedes launched in the US and Europe at the same time and they cannot keep up with the demand for the vehicles. Orders are still taking 3 to 4 months and as soon as the vehicles hit the dealer lot, they are gone.

White one in Portland might have been mine - 21s? Blonde (my wife) driving? I have not seen another except at dealer.
