Based on this Car and Driver article, it would seem the media tends to agree.......

Just read the news. Congrats. I hate MT typically but I'll overlook this month/year in this case.

Maybe I am reading your signature wrong, but I do not see that you own one. What is your basis for taking issue with it? We have been driving ours for a few months now and have really enjoyed it. Did you own one and sell it?

I think that the GL deserved to get MT's SUV of the Year award.

Well it isn't MT's job to gauge reliability. Turn to Consumer Reports or JD Powers for that. For what car mags look at they're a good source most of the time.

Let the numbers speak......I believe if you own one and drive it around for a few days or so (which is what the car mags. do) you would understand alot better. "Don't judge a book by its cover"
