Well, exactly. There's a market for this car for the simple fact that people will buy it.

Sure, it's stupid. Who needs all that luxury and all that off-road capability in one ridiculous package? On the other hand, who needs a car like the 911 Turbo? It's not as though you'd ever be able to enjoy half its prowess on public roads without breaking the law and seriously endangering other motorists.

In alot of ways, the stupid consumerist inside of me is turned-on by the new GL. It's the car for the person who wants to throw money at his or her wishes. "I want it huge, I want it luxurious and I want to ford rivers in it."
