S500 and Lexus 400h .... Now GL 320
New GL 320 and two impressions at dealer

Well we picked up our new Gl 320 yesterday and are very impressed with this ride.

While at the dealer I saw two new cars that blew me away ........ a SLR McLaren with a list of over $450,000. That is a car!!!!!!

As we were leaving the dealership, they were unloading a black GL 550 and that one made me have second thoughts
about the GL 320. For those who have the 550 on order you will love the new vehicle. After seeing this SUV in person I wish I had waited for the 550.

Oh well ................ my wife will enjoy the lessor of the three.

Dealer (Houston) also told me that the hottest seller currently at his dealership is the GL......... not enough supply to meet the demand.

Congratulations on the new 320...it is a great SUV and you can always buy a GL550 to match it. Welcome.

I didn't miss it at all. In fact, I left early today after looking at your sig since I just wanted to be alone for some reason.



Hopefully, your choo choo will run early and you will get it next week instead of Sep.

Congrats! Sure you might wish you would've waited for the 550, but you still have a GL! Ooh la la, there was an SLR there?
