that seems to be a 2016 review that they just repost it to be 2017 review.

One question. From what I know. People are ordering their new 2017 GLE Coupe as GLE 43 AMG. How come yours is still GLE 450? Is it a regional thing that some countries won't get GLE 43 till 2018 models?

It is not possible that this is a MJ 2017 because the 2017 GLE 43 AMG will be produced starting July 14 2016. Until then it is 2016 450 GLE AMG.

I thought May is a little too early for the 2017 model. Plus, it would have come out as GLE 43, I assume.

The vlog host specifically introduces the video as a 2016. The 2017's aren't available yet.
