Mercedes-Benz GL-Class voted SUV of the year 2007

The leading U.S. motoring magazine MOTOR TREND has voted the Mercedes-Benz GL 450 the best SUV of the year 2007. The GL came out on top, beating off a field of 22 competitors. This accolade is all the more impressive as this is the first time Mercedes-Benz has been represented in this market segment, dominated largely by its American rivals. The editorial team looked at all the new models launched over the past 12 months.

Is'nt Motor Trend the magazine that voted the M-Class back in 1998 SUV of the year? and we all remember what a fine machine that was...

Nobody knew it would be a problematic vehicle when it came out.

The GL450 screams better quality inside and out to me.

I had a 2000 ML, quite a fine piece of machinery. Went everywhere with it, no complaints.

the ml is the worst mercedes ever.
my neighbour has had NOTHING but problems with it, her 2002 ml just died. it needs a whole new ecu, engine management, the lot. terrible interior, terrible reliability, terrible quality, terrible car.
the ml came last in the 2005 top gear survey.

I have an 02 ML320 Sport. I have no real problems with it. I took it in once for rear locks malfunctioning. That's about it. Had 60,000 miles when i sold it. So who knows, maybe i got lucky!

RR sport for me.
Better designed,more practicle and Performance.390BHP Vs 380BHP of GL500.

And the new X5 is stunning.

old ML had made in japan stickers all over it. The worst MB in the history shall i say? Well done MB for winning this anyway, but the GL still got lucky in it since the all new X5 is still on the way.
