The GLS is the main competitor to the X/, it's been established in the market for years and I am sure MB, like in previous years and new BMW launches will offer extremely aggressive programs to not let BMW eat away at their market share.

The X7 has one decisive advantage over the GLS for its core constituency (families with 3+ kids): Bucket seats in 2nd row which are still not available for GLS (mind blowing that MB hasn't introduced that yet).

I have a GLS450 with a sticker of $81k. My lease is $875 a month on 36/10 with $5k at signing. There is just no way, BMW will get customers like me with this offer.

The initial wave of hard core loyalists that will get the latest BMW no matter the price is not what makes a model successful and profitable.

BMW is more than five years late to the game ;-(
There will be a new GLS coming in 2h 2019. Expect the cockpit to be like the new GLE. 2019 gls deals will be very good in 2019. Expect the 2020 GLS to be transaction price competitive with the X7.
