I have a sneaky feeling about this still waiting to see one. Funny enough the X4 is the opposite better looking in the flesh especially Xline trim still cant deal with the Msport look.

Hate to say it, but the GLE does win from a design perspective.

The big advantage, at least stateside, is that the base v6 in the GLE bests BMW's x6 35i I6 by 67 horsepower.

Again, all my eyes see is two giant air vents dominating the dash on the GLE.

How can I stop looking at them? It is like one of those moles from which three 6" strands of hair grow out.

The X6 is definitely the more aggressive, muscular, sporty looking vehicle of the two. The GLE looks a bit soft and has a wagonish profile. The X6 is a no looker however, previous generation was better looking imo, however it stands out while the GLE is not.

As far as interior is concerned, the difference is colossal. The X6 is on a different level altogether. No comparison. However, this is understandable as the GLE just carries over current generation ML interior (just like the X4 carries over the X3 interior). MB engineers didn't have much leeway on that, they had to make do with an old design that bears little resemblance to current MB interior design language. Just like the X4 interior that is based on a 4 year old, overridden design language.

I agree that the big-3 in Germany all copy each other, only tentatively forge a new market on their own, and hastily stumble over each other to follow when someone else establishes a new segment.

In this case, however, I think the credit goes to Infiniti for establishing the sporty coupe-like SUV with the introduction of the FX in 2003, five years before BMW introduced the X6.

I don't know that BMW has introduced a new market segment in over 10 years.

IMHO, the GLE looks better. It seems like it was made for the younger generation. Ages 30+ and up. The x6 on the other hand seems like it was made for the more older crowd. 40+ and up.

GLE = Young audience
X6 = Mature audience

Just like the 2015 mazda 3 with NAV, the screen stays put. It does not collapse, fold, retract, etc. The design does not appeal to me since it looks "glued" and placement was tacky IMHO.

I bet that screen on the GLE does not collapse, fold, or even retract. I guess that's the new thing to do now??? LOL!
