I don't get what anyone was expecting. There was never going to be a new GLS for 2019.

think he's just letting everyone know the press release hit the tape.

do you think you've told everyone here, there, everywhere, enough times that you always felt the GLS would debut later than some here thought? is 20 the right number of times to say it? is 30? what will give you the recognition you need?

Well since you put it that way no because there seems to still be mass confusion here. What is the point of a thread about a press release on the same vehicle as last year? There is absolutely nothing new about the 2019 GLS or GLE yet the threads keep going and going regurgitating the same old (useless) info.

Well, you just prove E3470’s point.

What I know is since you and Nova99 treated Fabbris of poser, he left this forum, and that is sad because, at the exception of the x167 release, he was giving good information and helping other members.

You give no information, you help no one, you’re just about how right you are.

Sorry for this pissed post as a new member, but it has been itching me for a while !

What I don't get is why you all like wondering around in the dark with no real info while taking any speculation for almost gospel. Someone says something like "engine problems delayed the launch" of a new product, and you all run with it, with no facts in hand. Fabbris? What did he tell you guys that wasn't already known by an average Mercedes aficionado? Serious question. It's like you all believe anything with nothing supporting it and then act shocked after it doesn't happen. Sorry I couldn't care any less about what point I proved by responding.

I know someone named L. L thought the GS Warriors were going to win the finals. A prevailing opinion, of course, but L expressed it over and over at cavs.com, cleveland.com, lebron.com, kingjames.com, etc. Sure, 99% of the people on those sites also believed GS would win, but it was imperative to L that the minority of the minority acknowledged him. Validation in anonymous public forums is very important to L. So much so, that after the finals, L still ducks into all those forums saying "I told you so." I wonder if L will carry on like this in perpetuity. It feels as if he may.

He was/is a poser. An over zealous car salesman that sprinkled pixie dust on the forums to pose as a real insider. Maybe he got fired because he was pumping his clients with **** as well or the moderater banned him. He was also condescending when you disagreed with him...but what do I know.

His account on here does not show him as banned. He stopped conversing on other benz forums around the same time...
