Too late to order a 2019 GLE Coupe?
I notice that MB USA's website has already switched over the GLE build configurator to the newly redesigned V167 platform, but still displays the old (current) W166 design when building a GLE Coupe online. Does this mean the GLE Coupe models (like the 2019 AMG GLE43 and GLE63) are still being produced (perhaps on a factory assembly line separate from the regular GLE)? Or has production already ceased for all W166-based models? (Because they've already transitioned over to the newer V167 platform, so no more W166s can be built.)

Thanks for that link, but according to that thread, the new 2020 GLE coupe still seems a long way off, so I'm wondering if it's still possible to order a 2019 of the older bodystyle. I didn't see that topic specifically covered in the other thread, unless it's implied (because the release of a 2020 order guide means the 2019 order bank is already closed?).

I think it's really idiotic that during the entire build process, no where on the website does it tell you what model year you're actually building. Whose stupid idea was this? It's been like that for years. Did nobody at MB ever notice this? It's like they designed the website, but never bothered actually using it. Sort of like the volume control with no volume "bar" to show you what level you're on. If you've ever used the audio system, you immediately notice the absence of this feature. Come on MB. You have to do better than this if you want to live up to the slogan "The best or nothing at all".
