No ladies and gentlemen, your eyes do not deceive you. Car and Driver did in fact "Preview Review" the Mercedes GL 450.

So what exactly is a preview review? To be honest, I'm not really sure. Apparently, it's kind of like a review, only they don't actually drive the vehicle. What the Car and Driver preview review does do is explain the features and options of the GL 450, compare it to other enlarged SUV's, talk about its similarity to other Alabama-produced Mercedes models... you get the idea.

Basically, if you've ever read any other Mercedes GL article, you're not going to find anything new in Car and Driver's story.

If, however, you've been studying the migration pattern of emperor penguins in Antarctica for the past six months and you have no idea what a Mercedes GL is or why you need one, then Car and Driver's preview review should get you up to speed pretty quickly.
