Undisguised Mercedes-Benz GLE Still Looks Like A Mash-Up Of An S-Class And A Wart

004

Not long ago, I described the Mercedes-Benz GLE as "a cross between the new S-Class coupe and a growth of the Human Papilloma Virus." I stand by that statement.

A completely unoriginal derivative turd, the GLE is basically an X6 rip-off made by Mercedes-Benz. Even worse, it wears an "AMG" badge, despite sharing nothing with the great AMG cars of past and present. It is little more than a sop to consumers in the BRIC countries, and a naked play at profit and volume by Daimler.

One part of me wishes them well for shrewdly playing off the needs and wants of the legions of people who would buy this thing. The other part of me wants to reach for the liquid nitrogen canister and cryo-therapy this thing off the face of the earth.
