One upgrade in HP is the 382HP engine to go into the new GL550 this fall. Same engine as in the S550.

For $50 an hour I can make myself the size of a hamster, get in the engine and help it go faster.

I never knew that HP meant Hamster Power.

When will the 550 be out and can these gl's go off road and I mean really go off road in deep snow mud etc? I dont go off road all the time. I would use it as a dd and be going from my 500hp+ h2 to this.

My cousin sold his Hummer because it could not be used as a DD. BTW, what is the hp/lb ratio of the H2 vs the GL450? As an aside, I was riding with him one day when he floored it at a green light...instant readout said 3.7mpg

July-September as a guess...some have ordered and saying they have June build? I don't know if the Off-road package will be standard or an option.

As far as snow, mud I have no idea. But it will be fast off the line for a SUV with the S550 V8.
