GL500 is a massive SUV which is good for a family man rather than a guy who enjoy his drive. GL500 is a seven seater which will be good enough to take care of your full family to a weekend destination. After all it's a 3 pointed star too which will take you too into a different league/class on the road.

But if you give me a chance to advice, I will definitely push you to go for a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. It's a true monster on roads, thanks to it's ultra cool 418 Torque @ 4600rpm in compare to GL500's 390 Torque.

Also the price wise you can save at least 60K on ex.showroom price if you go for a SRT8.

If you believe in power and a good looking cruiser go for SRT8 or go for MB GL for the sake of your family.
