Looks like JohnBest2017GLE uses the same parent dealer I just picked up my 2017 GLE350 from AutoNation San Jose earlier today. Pics below. Brilliant Blue is a new color for 2017

Nice janky! I was beginning to think these things only came in black or white.

(I'm still waiting to see one of the silver colors with the night package)

Seriously. All I see are white and black GLE350s on the road these days. No disrespect JohnBest!

I heard they were producing Brilliant Blue for the GLE350 and I had to have it after googling images of what the color looked like on other Mercedes models I had to have it with the night package. Love this vehicle already.

JohnBest: 4K under invoice that included a fleet incentive (1K) through my employer.

Black is always the BEST color for a Mercedes Benz. That's why you see too many on the street thats same like you see too many people wearing suit in a CEO room, why? because that stands out for a clear message => traditional luxury color.

Your blue is nice as well, congrats and I guess you will be happy with it.

I see a few of you have the running boards. Do you feel they are worth it?
BTW.... Jealous of all the pics. I still don't have a production date yet.

If you have kids or are very short they are worth it. I have them and the kids use them all the time to climb in and out. I find myself stepping around them. They make the car look better though.

Aaaah, no. No no and no. Wait...let me think, no. How about no. Thats is unless you have small kids then it's a big fat NO still. Biggest waste of money on the whole car. A car of this caliber should have automatic folding steps. Heck, ford trucks have them and I added them on my past 2 Tundras. So no don't get them. Is that clear I hate them? Wife does too.

so, do you like them or not? Can't figure it out from your post
I dont mind them and my kids use them all the time to get in and out. I had a GL without them and now a GLS with...I think they make it look better. As far a functionality for adults, they are too small. Yes, I would prefer the automatic ones like in a range rover or even a ford truck.

obsidian. Glad you went with the black GLE. There can be millions of black cars on street, but ONLY BENZ can have that special black.

Hey tery, does yours have the fancy neat automatic folding in and out tow hitch? (Yours looks like one) I've seen the commercials for them but I thought they were only in Europe. Nice looking ride by the way.

I wish I have the European nice fold away tow hitch. It's from Mercedes OEM tow hitch with ball I found one EBay. I think is very nice small OEM look to the system.
