The vehicle that originally supposed to replace the "G-Class" has been revealed. It will make its debut in January at the Detroit Autoshow, the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class.   The U.S. market will get the GL450 and GL550, with 335hp and 382hp respectively.   See Article     M

Honestly, the vehicle seems to have a striking resemblance to a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Audi and BMW seemed to have better incorporated their brand identities into their SUV design.

Looks pretty darn good in this shot.       It now appears that we're only getting the 335hp GL450 here in the U.S. Don't understand that when other SUVs in this class have at least that much power, if not more. A GL550 (382hp) should be sold here also.   M

I was hoping the R Class would fill the bill to replace my E320 wagon, as I need more room and better air-conditioning. I don't like it too much. Now I see the new GL. Any thoughts?     Good Morning America actually showed it this a.m. as a crossover - but mentioned nothing about a price.     I'm irked by the R Class having all "good" things as options - heated seats, sunroof, xenon lights, etc. etc.     I hope this will be more "mercedes-like".

Replying to: rcf8000 (Jan 10, 2006 2:05 pm) More impressed with this new vehicle each time I read about it...   1. 3 rows of real seats. Last of which fold instantly into the floor.   2. 7,500lbs. towing capacity(!)   3. 1st M-B N. American Vehicle with available "Pre-Safe" system as an option!   4. Amazing head an neck protection systems available.   5. Reasonable $50,000 starting price!   6. Should hit US dealers (Made in Alabama) by the end of April!

Replying to: ergo (Mar 09, 2006 1:06 pm) 1. 3 row of real seats. Last of which fold instantly into the floor. Great, so they copied Honda and Mazda.   2) 7,500lbs. towing capacity (!) The engine really lacks torque. Only 339 pound-feet at 2,700-5,000. Frankly, it would be pretty alful towing something of that weight for a long period.   3. 1st M-B N. american Vehicle with availabe "Pre-Safe sysem as an option! This should be Standard. Its a Mercedes after all.   4. Amazing head neck protection systems availabe. Again it should be Standard.   Don't like to be a parrot, but it really looks like a Jeep or a Toyota Forerunner.   I personally don't see anything exciting about this product. Hopefully it sells and not turn out like some of their other products. Replies to this message: ergo (Mar 17, 2006 8:44 pm) templeton3 (Apr 02, 2006 4:25 pm)
