Poll: How Many GLs Do You See a Week?

On average, how many GLs do you see in a week?

For me, it's zero. (Obviously excluding my GL)

Between Marin and San Francisco, there are quite a few. I usually see one or two on the way to dropping my kids off and heading to the city. Someone has a beautiful pewter one at school. I'll usually see another in the city and another one on the way home. On weekends I see a few around Marin especially at the malls and grocery stores. Each time I see one I think how great they look as if I don't have one.

There's quite a few GL450s rolling around down here in Orange County. I'd say I see at least one every time I'm out and about in Irvine.

I rarely see GL550s on the road though

I bet you never see GL 320's.

I see 6 - 8 GL's each week. 450's are about 3:1 over 320's and I have only seen 1 550, total. It depends what part of Austin I am driving. One morning in Westlake, I saw 3 in a 1/4 mile. I saw a white GL320 like mine and pulled up beside it at a stop light. I got his attention and when he rolled down the window, it was an old employeer from about 25 years ago.

In the past 4 months, I can remember seeing only 3 GL in the Washington DC area - not including the one in my garage.

In the little suburban town where I live, 2-3 per week.

I frequent Oakland-Berkeley and almost never see any there. There’s lots of Escalades though. So, everyone stares at my GL. It’s cool but a little strange.

In Manhattan and Fort lee area, NJ, there are a lot of GL. I didn't count it, but I have seen more than 20 GL a day, including 320 and 550.

Same situation in Fresno , I follow dealer inventory and they have sold only a handful of 08's. Sedan classes abound but GM and Japan sre selling the SUV'S. Tons of Escalades and Denalis.

They are becoming more common in LA now. But still not as omnipresent as MLs, just yet. Me and my son now play the "Guess what options" game when we see a GL

Hey, LeoSophie, we will be up in Fresno for Christmas. Wanna meet up?

Thanks for your responses.

Geez, you guys see WAY more than I do here in Indianapolis. I have seen maybe 10 other GLs on the road in the past year. Saw my first 550 last week...gorgeous.

I live in a small town and I see one other GL (450 Sand Beige Metallic) almost every day. It belongs to the owner of a beauty shop and is parked at an intersection where I make a turn every day! As far as I know it’s the only other GL…so the answer is one….over and over and over!

I see very few. Less than one per day. And I drive a lot. I see very few diesels. Have never seen a 550 on the road, just one sitting at the dealer.

There are very few in my tiny town.

I've never seen another 550.

In the 2 mos I've had the GL, I've seen exactly 4 450s. That's it. And I drive around alot.

I see one or two a day and somedays none at all. I saw a Pewter today and I have seen OB or Black, White, one sand beige. Some I see are the same car. Have seen 3 different 550's.

My eyes were glued to the OB 550 I saw a couple weeks ago.

I'm amazed by the lack of MBs where I live. I see maybe one a day, excluding my neighbor's S65.

I've seen only one here in the past week of looking. Lots of ML's, RR's and X5's though. I'd probably see more GL's if I ever venture outside Boston proper (where space is very tight).

Not a totally fair answer from me because there's two to three I see at my son's school (and nearby), as well as two at my daughter's school (different ones) and one in the neighborhood. So my answer is 10+, unless we change the question to "how many different GLs do you see a week?"

I don't see that many. I have seen a handful of 450's, maybe 10, over the last few months. I've only ever seen 1 550. My wife claims she definitely saw another 550 the other day but they are definitely rare. I know I get constant stares. No funny remarks!
