Replying to: carpersn (Nov 06, 2006 8:35 am) The moderators in various forums all seem quite good in their responses to this feedback (in my reading all like above, zero for supporting the change) but I wonder if at some point someone will address whether Edmunds should revert back to what it was. FWIW, I liked it the old way too... |

.....no mention of price yet (I'm hoping 450 price less $2K), also no mention of BlueTec in spec sheet. I'm guessing this is a stop gap solution until 2008, until BlueTec is more widely proven.

Mercedes-Benz to offer GL320 CDI (Straightline) |

I need help from people who recently shopped for a luxury SUV and considered or ended up buying one of these: Q7/MDX 07/GL 450. I am in the market for one right now. My needs are basically something that will fit 2 adults and 2 car seats and still have some extra space for occasional family/friends. So 3rd row is important as long as I can put 1 or 2 of the car steats there. It is important for the SUV to have excellent safety ratings, which I think all of these do. Other than that I would like it to drive like a car and also be fun for me (sport mode, acceleration, cornering, etc.) - when I am not driving with kids  I would appreciate if you recently bought one of these SUVs and could share as to how/why you chose that one over the others. Also if you can share your experience so far with your new SUV. Thanks!

I drove the '07 MDX, which was very nice and car-like. The packaging was odd - had to buy DVD to get automatic rear liftgate. I also drove the Gl 450 - very nice, but more truck like, and expensive. Tried the Lexus LX and GX - too old and tired in style and very truck-like. Also! the Toyota Land Cruiser and Sequoia. The Sequoia was very comfortable and room for everything - it road better than the Land Cruiser. Oddly, I bought the MB R320cdi. I wanted room and fuel economy. I'm getting beyond the odd look of the vehicle. It does have room. I'm higher up than my car was. I'm getting great mileage. The only problems are electronic problems. My ez-pass won't work and my garage door opener hasn't learned it's new code! Seems it has something to do with the infrared windows. The car/truck rides very, very nicely. I've only had it for 500 miles...

| I wasn't willing to try to Q7 with Audi's reputation, but it does look nice! Of course, you don't have to remind me of MB's reputation of late! | |

Replying to: justg0 (Dec 29, 2006 10:52 am) Couldn't get rear cameras and was "forced to accept" the offroad package, but that 4-wheel system made me a believer, handling 16' of snow and my 17-degree inclined driveway from hell. Not one slip. Liked it before and now love it. |
