MODS, PLEASE SEPARATE W166 FROM W167

There is nothing in common between V167 GLE63 and W166 GLE63, other than the name.

If there is a "limit" on how many open forums are "allowed", then please combine W166 ML63 with W166 GLE63, other than the name they are mostly identical.

@threeMBs Fully agree. I think this needs to be posted in the "suggestions" section of the site to be officially recognized by the mods.

There are several other threads requesting the same thing.
There were several objections right after the combining. Probably too late to separate them anymore.

Nevertheless, I agree. It's silly to combine two completely disparate models.
The questions, comments, and fixes are usually very different, W166 to V167.

Completely agree, even if it meant combining all the current-get GLE topics into a single forum.

I don’t even know why there is a separate V167 AMG forum. The vast majority of the posts found here can apply to the base model and even though I have an AMG model, I spend 90% of my time on the base forum.

The AMG forum should be a sub forum to the base model forum, attached to it instead of being a completely separate and equal forum. It would greatly consolidate posts and allow more of an active engagement since we’re not needlessly hunting around what is essentially two completely separate forums for the same overall model.

As a relatively new member, I gotta agree with this. I've been bouncing between the GLE section and this one to find info. Now that I think about it, my question about screen protectors for the touch screen probably wouldve been better off in the normal GLE section.
