What a spec. Give it a cream or brown interior and it will be my dream 4 door sedan.

The verdict echoes the thoughts of many journalists. They approach the car expecting it to be a glamorised E63s but are taken by surprise by how visceral but yet comfortable the car is.

It's a huge technical achievement for Mercedes who has lagged behind Porsche in chassis technology. My take away is that the GLE 53 and 63, as well as future Mercs will dynamically be nothing short of sensational.
 
^It has a big @ss, it has carbon in headlights.
It has, it has. That guy is an annoying fu%k.
Had to turn it off after 2-minutes.
 
I find myself careening between "hot n' cold" and all levels in between when it comes to this car. It's as if the blasted thing has triggered symptoms of menopause. In a 65 year old male, no less:confused:.
 
Just in time for all this Christmas.:)
You can have your very own GT on your desk. Albeit in 1/18 scale.

I so wish car manufacturers goes back to quality die cast companies to make their models, rather than sub standard models at premium prices.
