2007 Mercedes GL320 CDI First Impressions

With a number of awards, including Motor Trend's sport utility of the year, under its belt, the GL is seriously headed towards being a very successful product for the Three-Pointed Star outfit. Last fall, I took the GL450 trough its paces and was really impressed with the truck's civility, comfort but not its fuel consumption. How do you address an issue as important as fuel economy? Simple, if you are called DaimlerChrysler and have some of the most sophisticated diesel technology in the World, you drop a diesel engine under the bonnet.
