[QUOTE=mercup;7434552]the Q7 Supercharged 6 destroys a standard GLE /QUOTE]
How ? Is it fitted with Rocket launchers and gatling guns ? Or is it going to do that with its 333 hp and 325 lb/ft of torque ?
Has anyone ever told you hyperbole language does not make cars go faster ? A red paintjob does, for sure. Language, not so much.
And with any luck they'll buy it back in a year or two !

[QUOTE=Peter R.;7435871]
Has anyone ever told you that removing selected words from a sentence or paragraph and then quoting that...thus removing context is disingenuous?
The best part is you took hyperbole and made it literal and then complained about you yourself making it literal:

Fab did NOT fabricate anything. He shared insider info which we wouldn't otherwise have know about. MB simply changed their minds and delayed the release of X167 until MY20. He's a true insider that benefits this forum and he only shares what he hears. It's not his fault the plan changed.

Nah - A car salesman posing like an insider on a forum. Car salesman are proven time and time again on various forums and through my experience as THE WORST sources of info regarding new models, vehicle specs, etc. If you want to know follow reputable sites, go to the green hell, or talk to a dealer prin. I knew this was a 2020 refresh 2 years ago but ole fab throwing out the bait...Sorry just can't stand over zealous sales people. I followed just watch it unravel. Hope the new GLS in 2020 is awesome...I am true car guy.

What a pair of trolls. Germancar1 owns a 19 year old MB and Nova99 doesn't own any but they both have it all figured out. Laughable.

@JoeMa— I get you had faith in the OP, and that’s all well. However in retrospect, as the GLS still has considerable amount of cladding, non-prod taillights and other non prod details still in the spy shots, it was unreasonable to state or even to think it would have been debuted in the upcoming months as a 2019 model. Typically cars begin shedding camouflage closer to their debut (I.e. as the X7 has). Just my two cents on it, you’re free to hold your opinion.

...and neither did you, you were equally wrong about the GLE, so get off your high horse. Your pettiness is pitiful.

I have to side with Germancar1 on this one. I would say for one to be a fan of a brand you don't even have to have a car from that brand. Plus only Fab was implying 2019 will be X167. I was hoping he was right but my SA told me multiple times 2019 will not be X167.

JoeMa - No disrespect as you seem to be a very loyal MB fan and car guy like the majority on here. I love all things cars, especially autos with V8s. However, Fab is a poser and a car salesman first, not an insider, and some people hang on his every word on this forum...just waiting for another nugget. If he was that in the know and high enough on the food-chain he would not jeopardize his status leaking BS to forums. I think my posting record albeit minute, coupled with the reality says enough. BTW - I am following because I am opining for an awesome GLS with captains chairs, 3rd row, monstrous V8, and upgraded tech all rolled up into a capable all wheel drive SUV. You don't need to defend ...

People will believe what they want to believe. Facts only confuse the issue. It has been so since the dawn of homo sapiens.
As far as the GLS is concerned I'm sticking with my own prediction. And I could very well be very wrong.
