i wonder if they will go to some tilt forward mechanism for second row to ease ingress/egress like infiniti, vw (atlas) and others have.
that plus captains would make me very very happy...fingers crossed.

It's mindbogglingly to think of the amount of work that goes into a new model. I wonder how many different people are involved. The entire car industry is fascinating.

Also, I assume this means the 2019 GLS X167 will be at the NY Auto show?
There is a lot of competition, the GLS needs to be stepped up!

This just hit the press - the 2019 AMG GT 4-Door which includes the new MBUX dash with touchscreen and Touchpad:

New GLS
I'm a GLE guy - didn't the W166 ML (2012) come out a year before the X166 GL (2013)? Given that the W167 has not been officially announced yet, but is imminent, I would think the 2019 GLS will be a refreshed carryover model? I wouldn't think they would bring both out at the same time.

I watched the video and read the article but had to laugh when it suggested the taillights are not yet production-ready. It must not have occurred to him that MB may simply be hiding the final design of the taillights under those gaudy, bug-eyed turn signals. And for him to suggest the GLS may not be ready until next year based on some hidden taillights is silly. My money is with Fab's posts.
