IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR.
Last year, the Mercedes GL450 emerged as the most desirable luxo ute in a very desirable field. Facing an equally strong challenge for 2008, Mercedes responded by expanding the GL-class from aclass of one to afamily of three. For those who seek thrift and torque, there's the GL320 CDI turbo-diesel, an impressive powerplant that's currently creating compression-ignition converts in service with our long-term test fleet. And for those who find the GL450's 335 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque a bit too tame, there's the GL550, with a 5.5-liter V-8 generating 382 horsepower and 391 round-feet.
