The GL(450) strikes a nice power/price/ride balance. My only complaint is the bad MB infotainment interface. I'm hoping the strong competition will lead to nice discounts. This segment needed competition.

i wouldnt look at those number just like that, merc is always having more HP than bmw, from 20d/200d to 40i/450 and even when comparing M vs AMG, always, but yet it doesnt always reflect in real condition, due to weight and pther driving dynamic system in which bmw leeds.. claiming that bmw takes more money fore less power is ridiculous, first of all they are not selling just power esepcially in this segment, but luxury comfort tech and other stuff, but look at accelleration number, bmw x7 40i with less power is 0.7sec quicker than gls with more power, more than half a second.. not small at all...
