Will the new ML be called GLE?
I am getting confused with the MB model changes for 2015 and beyond. I understand that the smaller GLK will be aligned with the C class, the ML with the E class and The GL with the S class. In other words, our ML will soon be known as the GLE (if I am understanding this properly).
I am asking because a spy shot of the "new GLE", which is suppose to replace the M series, is shown in the link below and it does not look anything like our MLs. In fact, it does not look like a mid-size SUV at all but more like a compact sedan. What gives?

I see, so the ML will be the GLE but under that there will be coupes as well as SUVs. I'm not sure that makes sense but I guess they want to keep up with BMW and new models will be put out where they think they will fit.
