<p>Did you hear the following about Mercedes Benz for 2008?
<p>PROS: Great Ride Trade an LX470 Got off road package &amp; rear air &amp; entertainment; add the running boards!!! <br/><br/> CONS: Mirrors could be larger <br/><br/> REVIEW: This is the best of the best; if you don&#8217;t mind spending the $$. Ours loaded was $81,000 however it will hold it&#8217;s value; every auto book has rated it number one in either all SUV&#8217;s or New SUV catagory.

<p>PROS: Very nice style, Comfortable, Good Technology, Spacious. <br/><br/> CONS: Not as sporty as the new ML, Size difference not too noticable either. <br/><br/> REVIEW: This is a review by someone who has driven both the new ML and the GL class. When you first see pictures of the GL you think its definitely a monster in size, but to be honest its not much larger than the ML. It has a third row seat which the ML does not, and those seats fold in by pressing a  &#8230; <br/></br><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/newcars/mercedesbenz_glclass_2007/4816/model_user_reviews.html?sort=mr&#038;modelid=4816&#038;start=1&#038;show=atf&#038;reviewid=65&#038;reviewnum=4&#038;trimid=19105">Read full review </a><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/newcars/mercedesbenz_glclass_2007/4816/model_user_reviews.html?sort=mr&amp;modelid=4816&amp;start=1&amp;show=atf&amp;reviewid=65&amp;reviewnum=4&amp;trimid=19105" alt="How does it compare to the M-Class?

<p>PROS: solid truck, room for 7 adults, smooth ride <br/><br/> CONS: none at this time <br/><br/> REVIEW: for anyone who refuses to drive a minivan, the mercedes gl450 is your answer.  it fits 7 adults comfortably and you don&#8217;t have to be ashamed of your ride.  this is my 4th mercedes and definitely my wife&#8217;s favorite.  lots of power and the gas is not that bad.  lots of luxury standards ( &#8230; <br/></br><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/newcars/mercedesbenz_glclass_2007/4816/model_user_reviews.html?sort=mr&#038;modelid=4816&#038;start=1&#038;show=atf&#038;reviewid=69&#038;reviewnum=9&#038;trimid=19105">Read full review </a><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/newcars/mercedesbenz_glclass_2007/4816/model_user_reviews.html?sort=mr&amp;modelid=4816&amp;start=1&amp;show=atf&amp;reviewid=69&amp;reviewnum=9&amp;trimid=19105" alt="gl450 was voted the 2007 top suv by motor trend (5/5) - frank from burlingame" title="gl450 was voted the 2007 top suv by motor trend (5/5) - frank from burlingame" >gl450 was voted the 2007 top suv by motor trend (5/5) - frank from burlingame</a></p>
<p>PROS: Beautiful, Mercedes Quality <br/><br/> CONS: Price, but ITS A MERCEDES, PEOPLE! <br/><br/> REVIEW: I bought this car about 6 weeks ago and absolutely love it. I traded in a 2006 loaded landcruiser for it. Not only was the sticker price $400 less than the sticker on the landcruiser, but it offers 2X the amount of options, engineering quality and much better fuel mileage.

<p>PROS: Quiet, beautiful, tough vehicle but looks like a million bucks! <br/><br/> CONS: Some may feel it&#8217;s expensive &amp; if you are concerned about gas $$, stay away! <br/><br/> REVIEW: I just got my new GL450&#8230; First, to clarify - one reviewer said it was like a Pacifica - clearly they aren&#8217;t talking about the GL, but perhaps the R class?  I would compare this to the Lexus LX or GX, in size - but so much better than those vehicles.  The GL is beautiful!  It turns on a dime,  &#8230; <br/></br><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/newcars/mercedesbenz_glclass_2007/4816/model_user_reviews.html?sort=mr&#038;modelid=4816&#038;start=1&#038;show=atf&#038;reviewid=20&#038;reviewnum=8&#038;trimid=19105">Read full review </a><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/newcars/mercedesbenz_glclass_2007/4816/model_user_reviews.html?sort=mr&amp;modelid=4816&amp;start=1&amp;show=atf&amp;reviewid=20&amp;reviewnum=8&amp;trimid=19105" alt="Smoothest, most beautiful vehicle I've driven!!!

<p>PROS: Muscle, power, luxury, feels like driving a car. Love the power 3rd row seats. <br/><br/> CONS: Side mirrors too small, outlets should keep working when engine is off, need more rear A/C vents. <br/><br/> REVIEW: The overall value of this car is not a good as we thought when we bought. This car is dripping in luxury, but is missing some basic features that our previous SUV (Chevy Tahoe) had, like rear A/C vents for 2nd and 3rd row passengers, and power outlets that work all the time.

<p>PROS: Better than SUV Hybrids <br/><br/> REVIEW: I Bought a GL 320 CDI two weeks ago. It is all that I hoped for and then some. The comfort is amazing. It is very quiet.

<p>REVIEW: I do not consider the GL450 the best SUV for your money. I bought this vehicle in July 2006, and I can tell you they are many features that have been missing from this vehicle, considering that I purchased it the the majority of the options.

<p>Did you hear the following about Mercedes Benz for 2008?
<p>PROS: solid truck, room for 7 adults, smooth ride <br/><br/> CONS: none at this time <br/><br/> REVIEW: for anyone who refuses to drive a minivan, the mercedes gl450 is your answer.  it fits 7 adults comfortably and you don&#8217;t have to be ashamed of your ride.  this is my 4th mercedes and definitely my wife&#8217;s favorite.  lots of power and the gas is not that bad.  lots of luxury standards ( &#8230; <br/></br><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/newcars/mercedesbenz_glclass_2007/4816/model_user_reviews.html?sort=mr&#038;modelid=4816&#038;start=1&#038;show=atf&#038;reviewid=69&#038;reviewnum=9&#038;trimid=19105">Read full review </a><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/newcars/mercedesbenz_glclass_2007/4816/model_user_reviews.html?sort=mr&amp;modelid=4816&amp;start=1&amp;show=atf&amp;reviewid=69&amp;reviewnum=9&amp;trimid=19105" alt="gl450 was voted the 2007 top suv by motor trend (5/5) - frank from burlingame" title="gl450 was voted the 2007 top suv by motor trend (5/5) - frank from burlingame" >gl450 was voted the 2007 top suv by motor trend (5/5) - frank from burlingame</a></p>
<p>REVIEW: I do not consider the GL450 the best SUV for your money. I bought this vehicle in July 2006, and I can tell you they are many features that have been missing from this vehicle, considering that I purchased it the the majority of the options. The GPS system is confusing and out of date.

<p>PROS: Quiet, beautiful, tough vehicle but looks like a million bucks! <br/><br/> CONS: Some may feel it&#8217;s expensive &amp; if you are concerned about gas $$, stay away! <br/><br/> REVIEW: I just got my new GL450&#8230; First, to clarify - one reviewer said it was like a Pacifica - clearly they aren&#8217;t talking about the GL, but perhaps the R class?  I would compare this to the Lexus LX or GX, in size - but so much better than those vehicles.  The GL is beautiful!  It turns on a dime,  &#8230; <br/></br><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/newcars/mercedesbenz_glclass_2007/4816/model_user_reviews.html?sort=mr&#038;modelid=4816&#038;start=1&#038;show=atf&#038;reviewid=20&#038;reviewnum=8&#038;trimid=19105">Read full review </a><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/newcars/mercedesbenz_glclass_2007/4816/model_user_reviews.html?sort=mr&amp;modelid=4816&amp;start=1&amp;show=atf&amp;reviewid=20&amp;reviewnum=8&amp;trimid=19105" alt="Smoothest, most beautiful vehicle I've driven!!!

<p>PROS: Muscle, power, luxury, feels like driving a car. Love the power 3rd row seats. <br/><br/> CONS: Side mirrors too small, outlets should keep working when engine is off, need more rear A/C vents. <br/><br/> REVIEW: The overall value of this car is not a good as we thought when we bought. This car is dripping in luxury, but is missing some basic features that our previous SUV (Chevy Tahoe) had, like rear A/C vents for 2nd and 3rd row passengers, and power outlets that work all the time.

<p>PROS: Better than SUV Hybrids <br/><br/> REVIEW: I Bought a GL 320 CDI two weeks ago. It is all that I hoped for and then some. The comfort is amazing. It is very quiet.

<p>REVIEW: I do not consider the GL450 the best SUV for your money. I bought this vehicle in July 2006, and I can tell you they are many features that have been missing from this vehicle, considering that I purchased it the the majority of the options. The GPS system is confusing and out of date.

<p>PROS: Very nice style, Comfortable, Good Technology, Spacious. <br/><br/> CONS: Not as sporty as the new ML, Size difference not too noticable either. <br/><br/> REVIEW: This is a review by someone who has driven both the new ML and the GL class.

<p>PROS: Muscle, power, luxury, feels like driving a car. Love the power 3rd row seats. <br/><br/> CONS: Side mirrors too small, outlets should keep working when engine is off, need more rear A/C vents. <br/><br/> REVIEW: The overall value of this car is not a good as we thought when we bought. This car is dripping in luxury, but is missing some basic features that our previous SUV (Chevy Tahoe) had, like rear A/C vents for 2nd and 3rd row passengers, and power outlets that work all the time.
