I suspect that an SQ7 is actually going to lease for cheaper than a GLE53

That may be true, but from my experience, it was worth the major expense to get away from her

They’re super easy to use, can do it all online. Maybe 20-30 minutes of your time total to get through all the major ones. Carmax, you’d have to go in person - but worth getting a quote there too to check all the boxes. I suspect your wife may forgive the burly V8 and the larger size of the Q7 vs GLE (if those were the issues) when she sees how much $$ you’d have to eat to get out of the SQ7. From what you described, it sounds like she has a bias towards being practical/pragmatic, so ultimately, this entire exercise might just get you some relief from her angst. (ie: “ok fine, no point in us losing $8,400 just to get out of it. Next time - ask me first!” etc etc)

Or it’ll just further piss her off since she didn’t want the car in the first place
It does now.

Nor do I. I imagine that both the GLE53 and the SQ7 are just lovely, so I’d personally be happy w/ either one. ::shrug:: And, as you said, it’s not like she wanted an 3-row SUV, and he got a Corvette.
I guess I am lucky. My wife does not care what car I drive or how expensive it is. She does not really care about what car she drives, as long as the seat moves up high enough to let her see over the steering wheel and hood (she is short).

I feel like OP deserves credit for having such a good attitude about this. Most people storm off in a huff when this happens.
Shame of it is, the SQ7 is SUCH a good compromise car.
A family-hauling race car. What else could you want?

I totally agree - OP has been a good sport about all this, even at his expense
