Hofele GLE 2020-21

Hi guys, greetings from the Philippines. Just signed up here while awaiting for my custom unit to arrive this April. Have any of you come across the Hofele Styling of the GLE? In fact it is called HGLE.

That's going to be quite the car, congrats! Hopefully, you have a nice place to park it - last time I was in Manila, it was a very very busy place. Can't wait to see more pictures when it arrives.

I asked Hofele to add some stuff to the unit. Am envious of the packages and upgrades available in the US and other parts. We are limited with 1 variant. Our tax is 100%, the only model available here is the GLE 300D, dealer price is USD 120k without any sun or panoramic roof. The HGLE if one were to avail is costs around USD 220k.

Unpopular opinion: I actually think it looks really good, except for the wheels. Change the wheels and I'd drive it!

Yeah, I don’t hate it either, but the wheels are pretty bad.
