As I sit here laughing my head off, I am still soooooo disappointed that I will not be able to have the infamous cabbage soup during the Vegas meet/greet.
Poor Dodson... he's got to think that we really are nuts.
Waiting-4-550... you've never had broccoli in Vegas? You have no idea what you are missing.

If they let me drive the GL550 in the "raised state" past 40 mph then I'd get airborne and acheive my 5.8 sec 0-60...

Ahh
The difference is only 1.5 lbs/HP Nothing else internally is different on two trucks . I would think that there could be a difference of .2 sec to .5 sec between two trucks.. On the other hand, the 550 carries the torque of a 320 cdi which could be useful.
I only wish they had the 420 cdi available in US (wooping 500 + lbs of torque ) which could be good enough to tow a whole street
