Same price one is new one is CPO. Single no kids just a dog. I have a 2014 jeep SRT and I love it but I have had for a year and am looking to upgrade. My budget is low 70's. Drove the 2014 x6m and she's a beast but I don't need that much power although they make a nice ride. The inside was sort of plain. I had the 2014 E63amg before and it was so fast I never drive it that fast and prefer the ride height of an SUV. After going to the AMG academy I really am biased towards MB. Any non biased suggestions please ?

I was cross shopping the two as well, but went with the GLE 450 for its newness, and all of the technology. I was more interested in the macan for the way it drove, but wanted more space.

Very interesting. Did you lease or buy ?

I would prefer a Cayenne GTS, much better car. Plus service department is great, at least here in Florida.
Just my opinion.

I'm cross shopping between Macan S and Gle450 too. I've asked some SoCal MB dealers, and they are not offering any discount on Gle450. I'm kind of leaning toward the Macan S.

Now it is between Range Rover Sport and Macan S.

I bought mine, and went with the GLE because I was able to get 12.25% off through a F&F plan.

My sister has a GTS...I didn't like the jarring ride and non-progressive throttle.
She just bought a RRsupercharged Autobiography.

We're on our 5th wagon. We currently have a '16 wagon. Of the 5, two have been AMG models. I miss our AMG wagon but I also love the stock wagon for its practical nature. When you think there is a wagon that you really like, just go drive it - you will have no regrets after purchase!

yeah, that does help in making the decision.

When the all new 2015 C300 just came out in 2014, we purchased one with 18.3% discount off MSRP. With that experience, I was hoping some good discounts for GLE450 too, since it is a new car entering this competitive segment. And it is also US made.

when dealers are going for MSRP for GLE Coupe, I'd rather get Macan S for better performance or RR Sports HSE for its capability or space. GLE450's coolness is only on par in the bunch. So I think they need to attract the buyers with aggressive pricing.

After owning 2 AMGs I couldn't buy a normal MB. That's just me.

As much as I love the new GLE, the Cayenne is better. I have a 958 and she's fast. I found myself having to check myself cause I'd be speeding all the time with how fast she goes. Predictable handling (with steel suspension at least). Also IMO, the interior on the 958 is one of the best I've seen. It's like a space ship cockpit with that center control console.
