Most agree that the first SUV was the Chevrolet Carryall Suburban, which came out in 1935 (see the picture below).

I also attached pictures of the *****'s Jeep Station Wagon and the first Soviet SUV, the “Pobeda” which was produced in limited edition from 1946-1958. Quite beautiful I might add...

I said "NO WAY" to a van too! Had a R350 as a loaner car one day, my kids loved the second row captains, but I didn't care much for it either. On my 3rd GL450 and just love this SUV. The only thing different I could see myself getting is the GL550 or GL63 AMG

2014 GL 350 Bluetec

34 year old female. First MB ever, and own the GL 350. Had a '07 Suburban LTZ and felt like it was too big originally. My husband thought it was more practical with kids, dog etc. Owned it for 6 years because I wanted something smaller. Finally got a little bit of a smaller SUV, that drives like a car IMO, but can seat all the kids. Love it. Always have driven an SUV since I was 16. Hate minivans.

GL 350

Age 71 Have ordered one. Looks like the best 3 row seating SUV on the market, needed for new grandchildren. First Mercedes ordered. Also, the only 3rd row seating SUV with a diesel, and since I prefer diesels this affected my choice. (I use a battered Jeep Liberty diesel for tough off road work).
