Okay so, I'm going to break with tradition a bit here on TWPC by keeping it really short with respect to the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 AMG 4MATIC. I don't really have anything to say about it. Yet.

The reason has nothing to do with the vehicle, but rather the hectic schedule I've been keeping lately- today (Monday) in particular.

I simply ran out of time, and rather than delay the posting, I've elected to just publish this blurb, a couple photos and some basic specs. I think the decision makes sense given the posting schedule I've established.

I will endeavor to write a more insightful pick-up post next week when (hopefully) I'll have a little more time.

So with that in mind, check back on Friday for our take on the GLE 450.

Basic specs:

- 3.0L biturbo V6
- 9G-TRONIC (9-speed) automatic transmission
- front engine / all-wheel drive
- 362 horsepower / 384 lb-ft. of torque
- 0-100 km/h in 5.7 seconds (est.)
