If you're in the market for a new seven-passenger SUV, two automobile publications have today published reviews of the Mercedes GL-Class - one rating the GL 420 CDI, and the other critiquing the GL 450.

As has been the case with the majority of previous GL reviews, both testers found the GL to be an overall solid performer, with negatives coming by way of the GL's not-quite-large-enough size along with its relatively high price tag.  Although I disagree with some of the reviewers criticisms, the articles will at least shed a little light as to what to expect from Mercedes' newest SUV.

To learn more, head over to the Parumus Post for the GL 450 review, or head over to Auto Express for the somewhat shorter GL 420 CDI review. (Note: after initially publishing this story, it appears a registration is now required to read Auto Express' review. If you, like me, find the idea of registering to view a website absurd, don't waste your time.)
