2011 Mercedes-Benz GL350 Bluetec

2011 Mercedes-Benz GL350 Bluetec - Editor's Notebook - Automobile Magazine
Feels a bit like driving a bus.

The big Mercedes SUV is such an indulgence: yards and yards of beautiful black leather, substantial headrests, rich chrome trim, bountiful and sumptuous room for seven. With the GL350's turbocharged diesel V-6 engine, the EPA says the GL will eke out 21 mpg on the freeway, which is perhaps one way to justify the use of such a massive and heavy vehicle as a people carrier, when for most owners a minivan, perhaps even Mercedes-Benz's own R-class, would suffice. If it seems like I have mixed feelings about the GL-class, I do: I can't help but admire its looks and its capabilities, but I also can't ignore its wastefulness. That said, the Bluetec diesel at least attempts to address that issue, and it's a damn fine powertrain.

Buick's most serious bid yet to bond with the enthusiast.

A Buick debut in South Florida. Makes sense, right? Only we're not in West Palm Beach eating dinner at 3:30 pm and talking about canvas-topped Park Avenues but rather, in hopping South Beach to attend the official debut of the 2012 Buick Regal GS.
