The GL-Class has a slightly higher MSRP, but it is worth every dime. With a powerful and efficient biturbo engine, the GL550 comes with 429 horsepower, nearly 50 more than the Lexus LX. Additionally, the GL-Class has more than 100 more lb-ft of torque, a higher towing capacity, and a much faster 0-60 time. This extra utility more than makes up for the measly $2,000 price difference. The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class will be discontinued after 2016, so this is your last chance to purchase one brand new!
