U.S ought to though. We are the biggest SUV market in the world, right? If the GL should go anywhere, the U.S. should be the place, dont you guys think?

Re: To dethrone the Escalade. The GL-Class will need more than the Mercedes-Benz name.

I've seen a couple of '07 Escalades out there and whoa, it looks much better in real life than pictures. I haven't seen the GL, but I don't like it so far (from the pictures). The GL will absolutely sell in the US, no doubt about that. But the new Escalade will sure do some damage.

Don`t let the pics fool you. The GL is 13inches longer than the already large ML!
It also has more leg room than the Cadillac.
The GL450 is just 2 inches shorter than the GMC Yukon. The Cadillac Escalade is the same size. Here are some side by sime images.
