The Grand Edition is coming out in mid 2018? I thought the next generation GLE and GLS was going to be out by then

Looks like a waste when the refreshed model is around the corner.

Not sure on exactly when the refresh is going to be released. They may be milking this grand edition thing before the refresh.

Its just a last year hoorah to pump up sales. As I have been pointing out, the 2019 model will probably not be out till .... 2019!! You will probably be able to order in the fall or winter of 18. Ive been waiting 2 mths for our 18 and still have a mth to go.

You are probably correct. If it was being released fall of 2018 then they should have unveiled the new GLS at the Detroit show. GLE is supposed to come out before GLS and they haven't even unveiled that so who knows what MB is thinking.

S class coupe which is a 2018 model year will be in dealerships summer of 2018 - does that make sense? Not to me but again I am not in marketing.

My only regret of not waiting another year is that I really wanted was the full electronic display as in my eclass. I also suspect that the 4.7 v8 is going out to pasture which is a pity since its a fantastic engine but it is thirsty indeed.

A gaggle of MB's
Now this was funny ..... "As I have been pointing out, the 2019 model will probably not be out till .... 2019!! ... I guess there are still those out there that use a Ouija board.

MB dealers have seen the new GLS already... and frankly production on 2018 GLS all models is very/very tight already - for dang good reason that Mercedes wants a very/very slim dealer inventory when t Mercedes launches the new 2019's - normal release would be August at-dealers - however that release "might" be pulled sooner.

On the gentleman's comment on the 2018 S-Coupe - Mercedes made serious errors and originally overbuilt too many S-Coupes for the market - and the 2018 model is righteously delayed until at-dealer-inventory sells down a bit more..

Fab, have you heard when MB might unveil the 2019 GLE and GLS? Same auto show, separate auto shows? Thanks.
