Yep.. that grill is more distinctive from the ML class.. now it looks like a HONDA.

Wow that looks mean as hell! 500+ ft/lb of torque! Impressive.

This updated grille looks better because it gives a better distinction compared to the smaller ML class.

I agree, maybe they should put the grill from their passenger cars on the GL instead of this grill, clearly stolen from the Honda CR-V!

Why doesn’t Mercedes-Benz ever consider putting the grill and badge they use on passenger cars (S-class,E-class and C-class) on their SUV. It would look wicked on the GL and ML and make them look different then the previous ML copies like the Kia sorento, Lexus and other SUV’s.

But this makes it look more different than the Lexus Lx/Gx…and that’s always welcome also.

More MPG without sacrifice to performance is always welcome. However, the style of the current GL is nicely understated next to the over-the-top Escalade. It would be a shame for MB to now bring the bling to the GL.
