GL550’s V-8 felt totally appropriate for the class, orientation, and performance expectations of a full-size SUV. We’ve driven so many newer, more powerful vehicles here—benefiting hugely from the still ongoing horsepower wars—that sometimes I think we get a little bit carried away with the “This isn’t as fast as the last thing I drove,” type of talk. I’d classify the GL550 as “pretty quick,” which is high praise for a mammoth SUV.
Nor would I completely agree with the statements above and below about the less-than-luxurious accommodations inside the GL’s cabin. I guess I took the experience in as being “about right” for my M-B expectations (and memories), without, to be fair, being especially wowed by the fit and finish, or technology on hand.
