Hey guys,


Do you think black exterior with Espresso Brown interior will work?

I don't see why not. They did make a change this year to the designo Expresso Brown interior. It includes a porcelain headliner (off-white), not a black headliner as it does in the current GL.

Nothing beats a light colored headliner. Especially on a luxury SUV.

That lines up almost perfectly for you. Should arrive end of march. If it's delayed, MB Financial will work with you to continue payments on your GL on a month to month basis til the new ride arrives

Hey guys,

I came across this 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 with a breakdown of the packages. Do you think the GLS will have the same pricing structure?

Option pricing for the GLS should be nearly identical. Thanks for the post.
