I love this design!!
It's a little ass-heavy for me...

However, that interior is fricken gorgeous (minus the useless and button-happy-looking dialpad). In person especially, the use of the wood is incredible.
Still very much dislike the new nomenclature, and I think the engine offerings are a little odd (mirroring the thought on the loss of the V6 Diesel).
The GLE400 4Matic rocks a twin-turbo 3.0L V6 tuned to make 329 hp and 354 lb-ft,
Those numbers off a
twin-turbo just isn't so incredible. Sounds very de-tuned to me.
With that being said; I think the base 300d (2.1L diesel) will be a !great! 'entry' motor, and this is fricken exciting:
the GLE550e 4Matic adds a plug-in hybrid adding up to a total output of 436 hp and 479 lb-ft.
This design likely won't steal any sales from the RX, but will likely eat into X5 and Cayenne sales.
Has the RX moved downmarket to be with the Murano?
