Trade in my S560 for GLS 63 AMG

Hi everyone,

had a GLS 550 before and traded in for an S class. Now I want to go back to the GLS again and this time 63!
Dealers want to get a rid of their 19 inventory and as I know, it will not be any GLS 63 for 2020 since the new body just came out. Please correct me if I’m wrong? I don’t necessary need the cargo on the GLS but like the style more than S class. Some of my friend told me it’s weird talking the GLS over S class!
What do you think ? Should I keep the S class longer and wait for the new AMG GLS until 2021 ? Or should I get the 19 GLS ?

MB’s of all kinds.
Is there a way for you to own both? Seems like you want to keep jumping ship and the only way to solve this is to just have both

It depends on your needs, I like the GLS because it can haul 7 passengers and tow my car or boat. If you need a truck and people hauler do the GLS.

So I traded in my 2018 S63 with every option for a 2018 gls 63. Personally I miss a few things but I didn’t like being in a sedan for every day use. I’m much happier with my gls then S class. It’s more roomy ect and to me just more comfortable. I would personally get the new body style tho.

As nice an S class is, you can't beat being up high with better visibility when driving... and yes the towing is nice and cargo space.... for me the seat height and hatch height are important too... the older we get the harder it is to bend down to grab stuff out of the car...

I've had some back injuries in the past. Getting into and out of the SUV is so much easier then the Cab...

Honestly i'm tall so that's not an issue, it's bending down to put stuff in a wagon/sedan that's problematic The regular SUV is better than the coupe as far as loading stuff though, hatch opens to a nice flat floor, although coupe is basically a trunk that's nice and high so i don't have to bend to load/unload stuff...

Hope some of this helping the OP lol

Do ya really need the longer GLS versus GLE ? I looked at both and just didn't need the 7 seater... so went GLE...
