| Re: MoterTrend: First Drive of the GL450 I was at the local Benz dealer looking around the lot (closed, but cars are out) and what do you know, a GL450 pulled up with dealer/manufacturer plates. This thing is much bigger looking on the road than it looked at the auto shows a few months back. The GL450 is the best looking vehicle out of the Bama-made triplets. Its classier and more conservative than the curvy/swoopy ML and is better proportioned than the R-Class. I predict big numbers for this thing worldwide, but especially in the U.S. It goes on sale in about 10 days here in the U.S!!! For you U.S. folks the base price is $54,900 according to the forums on MBWorld.org. Not a bad starting price and certainly in line with its competitors from Lexus and Cadillac.
