This is no different from the E Coupe/Cabrio which were designated C207/A207 while the C-Coupe was designated C204 despite them all being the same basic platform with minor tweaks. Likewise W212/S212 E-Sedan/Wagon vs C218 CLS (again, same platform).

There's no conspiracy. The platform (and wheelbase) is the same for the GLE and GLE Coupe, just a different naming structure.

Has there been any recent confirmation, from a solid source (DOG, etc) on the engine lineup for the US? Last I saw was a doc from 3/25. It listed that we're getting a GLE350 gas V6, GLE400 gas twin turbo V6, GLE500e hybrid V6, GLE300d diesel I4, GLE63 twin turbo V8, & GLE63 S. Will both 63's be available or will it be like some of the others where the US only got the S model?

A gaggle of MB's
skw - please understand (as others have not) - that the GLE W166 and the GLE C292 - are both "GLE's" - similar, but different.
On the GLE C292 Coupe - there will be two AMG variants including a "AMG" twin-turbo V6 GLE450AMG - and then the AMG V8 6.3 S model.
On the GL W166 version - yes, the 1st Edition order guide spells out two AMG V8 variants - both 63 and 63S - and order config tools show both as active model US variants - unfortunately this does not give specs/differences between those two yet.

As for the engines, in my prev post, I was more asking what the engine lineup will be in the regular GLE. Primarily when it comes to the "63" models. Your response indicates that we will get 2. I think 1 is around 550hp and the S is around 580hp. For the Coupe, I understand there to be the "63 S" and an "AMG 450" model, similar to how the C-class has an upcoming "AMG 450" as well.

gle 350
Vibration/ motor moving felt at gas pedal when wipers on.
I own a GLE 350. I have notice that i am feeling the motor/mechanism for the windshield moving on my gas pedal when driving it and the winshield wiper is on..
I dont own any ml's but i have drove glk350 and did not feel any vibration when driving it when wipers are on.. Any insight or experience? Anybody could tell me if this would be a possible problem or defect? Anything is helpful before ill rush up to the dealer... Thanks
