I don't like it. But I've never liked the x6 either. A utility truck with smaller utility space....dumb. Plus it looks worse than a normal ml

I dont think its an ML replacement. They are definatly competing with bmw x6 and the ml should have its own name as with the x5. BMW is now trying to copy mercedes and come up with a new series competing with the a 7 seater gl.

I'd do that in a heartbeat if they'd put the v-8tt amg in it.

if it's got the weight of an ML, with a v-6, not too interested.

This is the GLE coupe and there's going to be a GLE, so their new simple nomenclature is out the window..

All stories about the GLE450 coupe identify the amg variant as a 365 hp v-6TT. the car I want is the GLC 63, so the GLE coupe is very similar sizewise. it seems unlikely that a bigger car would get a less powerful AMG motor than the GLC. My current obsession is a used g wagon with the amg motor, so that may do it for me in the next 12mos.

I believe this is like the ml 550 replacement. AMG variant means body kit only like the ml 550. There is a gle63 still being tested with pics online

yes, but I'm the one guy in the world who actually likes the look of this GLE coupe..but for some reason, the coupe AMG is a TT v-6. put a tt v-8 in this, offer euro delivery on it, I'll order one today...do it, dammit, DO IT!
