ride comparison

Hey guys, i am impatiently waiting for my gl350 to arrive, however i never got to actually test drive one since the are very scarce in my province (tried over 5 dealers) Mercedes actually screens all buyers to make sure you wont export the car and we sign some kind of document about that....anyways..

i am coming from a 2012 cls63 sport, and now my loaner is a 2011 q5, the cls ride was not comfortable at all, however the q5 is very smooth and impressive, has anyone tried the q5 and how does it compare to the gl? i cant imagine a car being much smoother... i just want to know what to expect

i am dying to get my gl!!!


thanks!!!!

There is no comparison. I test drove the big Lexus SUV and the Audi Q 7 and the GL 350 is ultra smooth, comfortable, and tracks beautifully. Long trips are a pleasure.
My second diesel and I am very pleased, 7500 miles.
