My thoughts on GL:
Pros:
-Styling : Refined / Classy.
-Interior : Depends on the options you choose. I found the interior to have a high quality finish.
Cons:
- Paying a high premium for something that isn't that special.
- Comfort : Lack of I should say.
- Premium Trim : GL 550 4Matic starts at $91k
- Maint. : Be prepared to shell out $$$
What could make it better:
- If performance is something you truly enjoy even in big SUV then the GL63 would be something that will put a smile to your face, but the price tag to it not so much
Note that the GL63 AMG starts at $121k, a SUV is made to transport people around in the safest manner not made to transport you and your family around at high speeds.
My thoughts on the Escalade ESV:
Pros:
- Comfort : Probably in my opinion the most comfortable SUV made.
- Features / Options : A lot come standard, and if anything you need any else its reasonably priced.
- Styling : Gorgeous.
- Premium Trim : ESV Platinum starts at $93k
- Maint. : More reasonable than a Mercedes.
Cons:
- None that I can think of.
If Escalade is above your price point then a Yukon Denali XL is your second best choice.
