The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, which debuted for 2007, was the company's first three-row midsize SUV. This year, a GL550 model that offers more power is available, while the smaller V-8 and a diesel engine are still available. The three GL-Class models are the GL320 diesel model and the gas-powered GL450 and new GL550. The GL competes in the same class as the Acura MDX and BMW X5.  Read More
