Dealer called me yesterday because we only have 5 payments left on our GL450 lease. Wants me to come down to the dealer to talk about a new MB, as MB will waive our remaining payments.
So the question remains. When will the new revised GLS actually show up on dealer lots?
The X7 was a contender on paper, but not since the wife has seen the pics. Damn, it's ugly.

I had 8 months left on my 2017 GLS 450 lease. Don't like the way the X7 looks and the third row seat leg room is a couple inches less than that of the current GLS. Traded my white 2017 last week for a black 2019 with appearance, lighting and three zone climate....coming from the s**t halogen lights, the LEDs look amazing...I'll drive this one 2 to 3 years...by that time the hype of the 2020 X167 will be diminished and they would have ironed out some of the bugs associated with any new redesign. It made sense for me to make this move now and wait a couple years before going for the redesign.

Mercedes-Maybach GLS Spied For The First Time
"If the reports are accurate, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS will debut as early as the end of this month during the Los Angeles Auto Show. Autocar has it on good authority we are only a few weeks away from the SUV’s debut, and presumably, the regular versions are going to be exhibited in California as well."https://www.motor1.com/news/274360/m...ls-spy-photos/

From C-NET Road/Show:

Mercedes-Benz is swan-diving into luxury's deepest waters by unveiling the Mercedes-Maybach GLS SUV in LA. Mercedes is never one to be left out of a luxury segment. The Mercedes-Maybach GLS will rise to the occasion of providing German competition to the likes of the Bentley Bentayga and Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

Those are the AMG wheels. They've been available for years on the current model if you choose the AMG pkg for the 550 or the AMG GLS63.
I really wish the AMG pkg would be available on the GLS450 though.

I don't know where c-net and other news outlets get their info but the GLS is a no-show at LA. However, the 2020 GLE is on display. If you haven't seen it yet, the front seating area and dash of the upcoming GLS should look nearly identical to the GLE. Check out this video from the show:

This is what I am told today - production will start July - release end-Sept - interestingly I am told today "US standard" will be 2nd row Captain's Chairs - with 2nd row bench as a option..

i would be willing to bet that the interior space is far better resolved than the x7. I expect more space between captains, more legroom second row, more everything third row
gle has 3” more in second row than x7, current gls has 1.5” more in third row (along with 2” more shoulder and head room).
cant wait to hear more

i would take as is in the new gls. I love it.
my current gen interior is functional but not much to look at, which is totally fine for me. I’m more interested in packing it full of stuff and people and driving it hard under all weather conditions. And there is currently no vehicle that can do all those things as well.

What about the 550 body kit being available for the 450 like our Europe counterparts?
