I thought I was also the only person in the world that thought that was Richard Thomas. People make fun of me because I still watch The Waltons when I can. I really like him.

Is it Richard Thomas doing the voice over? Sounds like him, but restrained or modified a bit.

I think the voice is Richard Thomas from the Waltons.

The voiceover is driving me nuts too? It sounds a little like jeff bridges but I’m thinking its more like a television actor.

Mercedes isn’t joining anything…

The old G-Class adverts had it crashing though walls. Mercedes is only showings the GL’s roots.

There are already a couple around here. Pretty nice if you ask me.

“HAHAHAHA!
German Pride!
You know the lazy ones are always Americans!”

I’m sorry to disappoint you James, but I’m not German nor am I here to offend anyone.

The funny thing is that if you look at the specs for the Land Rover LR3 it beats the GL in just about every category, more head and leg room for all three rows for example, but the LR3 in top of the line trim is only 56,000 US Dollars.

It was kind of funny at first, but the humor died out. I really liked the crash test scene. By the time they were in the wind tunnel, it got old.

Video : Mercedes GL-Class SUV Ad

Mercedes has created a new TV ad for its GL-Class SUV that began airing on U.S. television this week. If there is really something like that, i would go for it! It’s super safe! Pretty damn funny!

“This model, along with the ML, is built in the United States, not in Germany.�?

HAHAHAHA!
German Pride!
You know the lazy ones are always Americans!
But since Americans have longer work hours than Europeans, maybe Americans are just working tired and asleep.
It’s time for reform and reduce work hours to 35 hours/week!
In the name of quality and safety!

My post has nothing to do with the advertisement, but I just wanted to account what I witnessed, for any potential buyers of this SUV.

Get an Audi Q7 instead…

I sat in a Mercedes GL at the Lisbon Auto Show. The leather on the passenger seat was vanishing, and the foam fabric beneath the leather was in sight.

This was on the lateral area of the seat, usually where someone entering a car rubs their back.

I asked the Mercedes representative how could a new car in an auto show, already be in such deteriorated conditions?

A quick, but honest answer was given: “This model, along with the ML, is built in the United States, not in Germany.”

A+.
Now let’s all go spend $60,000!
This tank owns the Escalade!
I’m sure 125mm tank guns are optional on this vehicle.

the vw ego commercial has one detail i think is more hilarious than anything and thats the disclaimer at the bottom of the screen — “DO NOT THROW megaphones from a moving vehicle” thats priceless lol

pretty good commercial. And for the same price as a Chevy Escalade…oop I mean Cadillac, I’d rather have this. Much nicer design, and I don’t have to buy any BLING to drive it.

Nice. Pretty funny. You guys see the new VW commercials? “Lowest Ego Emmissions of any German engineered sedan.” Priceless…

I’m not really interested in suv’s but the GL makes me wish I lived on a ranch in Montana.

that was pretty funny although they make it seem like its going after the same market as suburban, expedition drivers etc but that has to cost twice as much.
