Quote: Oh wow, $86750, the gap between SUV and coupe is now only $3050, they increased SUV for 24! As previous gap was $4250.

Yeah my build with options is clocking in at $109,510. Honestly it’s what I expected.
you planning on getting the coupe version? I plan on SUV. I wish I like the coupe cause it looks nice but it’s not for me. I hope you enjoy it once you get it. Did they tell you when you going to get it?

nice build. They told me it would take 6-8 months for mine to arrive. Part of me considered getting the GLS since High End 3D Burmester is an option and it is important to me, but the GLE looks much sexier.

if they’re quoting that time frame it’s simply because they’ve given their allocations to other people.

I actually had to shop around with multiple places to find a dealer who 1- would give me one of their first allocations and 2- charge no adjustment. It was crazy to me that some dealers wanted $10-$15k over as an ORDER.

Quote: They look like Porsche's Annular brakes used on their early 60's 356 Carrera 2.
And the original Audi V8 sedans in the '80s. As I recall Audi replaced them with conventional rotors as a recall or something like that.

As with most things, they always make a return. Look at all of the movie and TV remakes nowadays. No originality. Maybe the issues from back then have been mitigated due to current technology and this new product will provide better results compared to 40 years ago.
