Lewis Hamilton Drives GL

From Mercedes Enthusiast magazine.
http://www.mercedesenthusiast.co.uk/

2008 Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has chosen a second GL as his preferred transport away from the track. His new, black GL320CDI 4Matic has 21-inch AMG wheels, privacy glass and a leather interior. Hamilton says he prefers to relax on public roads and admires the GL's high driving position.

On Top Gear, he claimed it was a 420CDI.

Forget your "yep" as the video is a year old.

If you (can) read carefully, you'll note Mercedes Enthusiast characterizes the pictured GL as his "second" GL.

Unless I missed something, I don't think he deserved this as a response.

What I'll say is 24" wheels don't belong on anything other than small tractors.

Whatever, I did not read it that closely because I was suffering a sleep deficit from spending a night toasting away two bottles of vodka, and then going to the airport and flying for another 27 hours in economy.

I think he always had a 320, just rebaged it as a 420. What a poser, we should send the guys from the AMG forums after him.
