It might target Escalade buyers, but new 2007 Mercedes GL-Class lacks “has none of the charisma of the Cadillac Escalade,” says Automobile Magazine. Like most Mercedes models, the SUV is smooth, quiet, and comfortable, according to the reviewer. However, there are some problems besides its lack of star power. “Under hard acceleration or braking the GL pitches forward and back like a headbanging teenager,” the review states. “It doesn’t help that the brakes take a good jab before they engage.” The GL450 model also lacks power, according to the magazine. However the forthcoming GL550 should address that. “Wisely, Mercedes plans no AMG version,” concludes the reviewer.
