Mercedes, in a never ending effort to one up its German rivals for ways to confuse their customers will likely change the name of the M class SUV to the GLE class SUV.

Kinja'd!!!

According to Lead Director for Alphanumerics, Steinhold KapitänalbernenNamen, this is being done to increase popularity of the luxury SUV with its primary demographic; those who think that the TV show "GLEE" would "Totally be the most cool real life ever." !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has the full story.

seriously what the hell are german car companies even doing with their naming now. It used to be simple and logical, now it's like lets let "Mr.Bobo the chimp name it for us"

They should release a 7.4L v8 model and an optional turbo model. Call it the 740 GLE and the optional model the 740 GLT TURBO INTERCOOLER.

Sadly, only after the first cars are shipped will it become apparent to unassuming buyers that the acronym "GLE" translates to "POS" in English.

I heard that Mercedes is changing the name of the CLA to GFY, to remind them that they should have just bought an Accord, but they didn't because they needed that badge.
