Pros: What do you like about 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class?
The look and feel of this car is great! I enjoy the many amenities that surround you in this flagship vehicle. Acceleration is ample and flows effortlessly from the 550. Having the extra space has worked out well to carry more luggage or groceries in the rear.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class?
I would add the AMG engine and tighten up the steering to compete with BMW. I would also add more cup holders and storage space. It would be nice to have the seat coolers as well. The navigation also needs more options to be more functional for varied applications. The cars seems to floaty too at times when in the comfort mode. Last but not least the rear entertainment system needs to work with wireless headphones.

2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Review:
This car is head and shoulders over my Range Rover and has options that are on par for a $80K++ vehicle. I'm very pleased. Too soon to gage the reliability but nothing can be worse than the Range...at least I hope

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class?
The 7 speed transmission is velvety smooth. Crusing at highway speed gives you the feeling of going much slower due to the vehicles size and quiet interior. Fit and finish is what you would expect for the price. Achieved 19 mpg (GL 450 ) on a 500 mile trip avg 71 mph.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class?
Though vehicle has running boards they need to be an inch or so wider to facilitate exiting.
