You mean that Suzuki has more prestige than Mercedes?

Prestige has nothing to do with this Award. Everything from Nissans to Land Rovers have won it before.

I dont like the GL, I rather see a ML

If i 'm not mistaken Touareg had won the award a few years ago.

I was looking around on the net and I found this info out on mbusa.com. I am very happy for them. It has received excellent reviews from nearly every car magazine. I've seen it in person and it really stands out.

Yes, Audi did a good job with the Q7, but it's time for Benz to get some awards. They deserve a hell of a lot more credit then they have been getting.

Their's so many great suv's in the price range of a GL, I can't see it making that big of a splash in the U.S!

I really don`t see where your statement is justified. Audi is doing very good here in the US and have really come up the prestige charts in the last 3-years.. heck thay have all but ski-rocked, it no joke. As others have said this test has nothing to do with prestige but overall performance and quality..

The GL must be credited for that because it has passed the grades in a whole number of different catagories` other SUVs in it class only wish for.

It`s all on paper for the GL. MB once again has done a fine job in design work!
