The more I see this toad the more I like it.

The more I see this toad the more I like it.

IMHO, cannot argue with that. X6 is such a fine car (maybe a bit awkward at the back 2nd gen.) but this Benz I like. Also the choice in tire sizes is something that grabbed me. Typical Mercedes is the fact that you can order higher profile tire sizes = driving comfort. Learned that from our @Martibo a long time ago, no matter what suspension/damper tech you have, tire = primary damper.

^ This guy approves it.

Option 587, along with the illuminated star, is too gaudy for my taste.

MB Passion is test driving an GLE 450 AMG Coupe today, and taking the ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki. The longer they drive it, the more they seem to like it.

Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class – SUV and Coupe

For 2016 Mercedes-Benz will have two versions of the mid-sized SUV. The GLE-Class SUV and Coupe. Pictured above is the current ML-Class and the GLE-coupe. Similar size, but very different styling.

2016 GLE-Class SUV

This is a mid-cycle refresh to the current M-Class. There are upgrades to the interior and exterior but it will be very recognizable as the traditional SUV. It will be available in many variants: GLE300d, GLE350, GLE400, GLE550e, GLE63 AMG

2016 GLE-Class Coupe

This is a whole new version of the mid-size SUV. This GLE had coupe-like lines, AMG styling and is meant to stand out. The GLE-Coupe will only be available as the GLE450 AMG Sport and the GLE63 AMG.

Does that help? There seems to be a lot of confusion about why we are turning our ML into a coupe! We aren’t…there are two!

The GLE Coupe (C292) compared to the GLC Coupe (C253) expected in 2016.

Interesting comparison.

Have to be honest with oneself... I like this Benz, A LOT!

Have to be honest with oneself... I like this Benz, A LOT!

I have to agree with this. At first I was a bit harsh with the poor GLE Coupe. Mainly because is comes from the old ML that looked like crap. And I still believe the biggest problems this car has come from the old ML: the interior and the non-AMG front bumper.

I don´t like SACs. Always say the best of the bunch is the X6 M. But if you leave that beast aside, I think the GLE has the most interest side profile of the segment. and the non-M X6 looks a bit so so. When the second generation comes out, I expect the GLE to be a stunner.

As I dropped off my car at the dealership to get the windows tinted, I spotted this.

They just arrived today. This model was optioned-out as $71K USD.

Very nice car but the interior no

'Is NYC ready for an SUV with the heart and soul of a sports car? Totally!'

Im about to order a white GLE 350d Coupé with AMG Pack but without Night Pack.

Does anybody have real life pics of such a car? I've seen many professional pics but those doesn't do the job for me.

EDIT: I just saw the pics of the 450 above. Sorry guys

A midnight beauty.
