I did, but I thought this warranted "sticky" status. Greg

This is the 2020 X167 forum; while many here may have experience to help you might post over on the X166 site.

2020 GLS 580 (X167) - Throttle Response Issue

Has anyone had any issue with the throttle response or transmission issue on the new GLS580? I am experiencing a serious lag at times. When I took the GLS580 into the dealer they were scratching their heads and said that MBUSA has not issued a bulletin that is related. Has anyone had this on any other model? We have a '13GL550, '14GL550 (had a cabin vibration that was never solved), '17GLS550 and '18GLS63 and have had no issues with transmission lag or delayed throttle response. Thanks in advance!

Quite a few transmission complaints on the GLE forum, mostly citing abrupt downshifting when slowing - mine has been perfect, though.

I just ordered 2023 GLS 450. I have tiny garage. Is there a way I can fold the mirrors before entering into garage. If so how?

If like the GLE, there is a mirror fold button on the left armrest between the left/right selectors.

Thanks, so you mean GLS 450 has a button to fold side mirrors? It’s extremely important feature for me
