It's less busy that's for damn sure.

The BMW face is over designed.

I find the Merc more proportional in terms of body to wheels. The x6 is too bulky for those tiny wheels, although they're massive. But what a tasty interior on the x6.

None of these 2 interest me, and i may be off topic a bit, but it's the C450 amg that interest me lots. My 09 335i is up for replacing, and I have never considered MB before, but I can't lie, I'm waiting to see how this C450 does. I have a feeling this car is going to steal some sales from the 335i M performance, and it may very well be my first Mercedes. 360+ hp and 380+ tq, with exhaust and other driving dynamics by amg, and that interior! It might be very tempting, let's see how BMW responds

They are responding with new engines and plugin variants on their series cars.

It's good looking, clearly inspired by the x6 though.

IMHO both are useless vehicles, seriously........They don't do anything well.
Hence why buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee with V8. Off road/towing/comfortable on payment.....bang for your buck.

X6 for the win here. Granted the GLE looks good the X6 just has more character for me.

uhm has no one noticed that the Merc looks ALOT like the Macan? They seem to have been very inspired by the Macan both interior and exterior wise, with a touch of the x6.

The Merc has some new interesting engines! BMW was moving quite slow with the B58 release!

It's a good thing I know they are different cars. They look the same to me from the outside to the point that I couldn't choose on that basis alone. It's a shame, however, there's not more similarity than just the exterior.

The MB's interior is fright! It looks like the MB designers spent too much time reading Mary Shelley and, thus inspired, created the ultimate "Franken-car." The dashboard on that MB is just nasty looking in particular. It 's a monstrous patchwork of Korean, Japanese, and American parts and design cues.

All the best.

X6 inside and out. If I blur my vision, the GLE looks like the old X6 but with a terrible front and rear end. The rear is just terrible but the front, it looks like Mercedes cut off the front of all the other cars and slapped it on this model - doesn't look good on this body style.

Agreed 100% all the X cars have tiny wheels for the size of the car. MB and Audi do a better job at proportion body to wheels

X6 is beefier and more sporty but the wheels are too small for the body...

I like the front end and rear of the merc better..

Interior in the merc doesn't seem as nice as the new S class design and I hate how both have the last min decision iPad attachments...

I prefer e90 style nav screen integration.

I'll have to wait for performance comparison data to make a decision.

...

This vehicle is the coupé derivative of the ML = GLE, which is the E-Class level SUV (just like the X5 is the 5 Series level SUV). And since Mercedes does not anymore distinctly name its coupé derivatives (e.g. CL became S Coupé), this is simply called GLE Coupé (unlike X6 which is not called X5 Coupé).

So it's definitely an X6 competitor Note the huge 22" wheels which do not seem evidently bigger than the X6's 20"!
Wow - I would have fired the Merc designers on the spot. That rear is just hideous.

so the ML will become GLE which is targeting the bmw X6, what car do they have to battle the X5?

also what is up with the new Q7 that is coming out, no longer a SUV but a station wagon....the X5 is going to be all alone in its class?
