4 vents are very well implemented and much nicer than in many other luxury cars. It is an aspiring SUV, large, comfortable, safe and advanced in many respect. It comes at price, but it is not unjustified.

We just traded an ML320 Blutec for one (as a family hauler). The ML was a great vehicle, made it to 140K miles, felt solid and high quality at the end, could tow a 7000LB race trailer, and got 30-34MPG on highway. So the GLS was the next most likely option. As Jack said, comfort and luxury are important, but also Safety is a big item. And, we wanted something that would not feel like garbage at 80K miles. So far, the GLS has been great as a family hauler. As noted, it just feels like a safe, steady and comfortable drive. We cross-shopped the X7 as well, but it seemed like it had a smidge less cargo space, and my wife did not care about handling fun.

I know this is like beating a dead horse, But I think now more than ever, people want cars that are cheaper than they used to be, and not more expensive. Where have all of the promises gone? economies of scale, covid is over, etc etc etc? Shouldn't cars be getting cheaper to make? Some of the engines these companies uses are a decade old if not more! Why is a civic costing me as much as I paid for a fully loaded 2019 camry?

COVID is far from over. And in real inflation adjusted terms cars are a lot cheaper. A 2022 Civic costs about as much as a 1992 Accord in real terms, but is a much better car in pretty much every way. Automakers have done their part on the affordability front; most of the issues around affordability are economic.

@colin-nekritz

Жыл бұрын

It's honestly worse than that, these cars as many aren't just outpacing inflation and most people's means - not that people won't take out a 96-month loan at 14.98% at $1,299 a month for these things - but the fact they're making cars like these more disposable than ever. Those electronics are going to be a $1-4K expense when they go on the fritz and will look woefully dated in four years, in some cars less. Just the general cost of all the repairs compared to say a 1997 Camry or even a 2011 Malibu which, not if, but when they happen, as so much is connected to electronic nannies, is going to make these cars, even accounting for inflation, beyond the pale in terms of cost to own and operate. Car makes will continue to push the false narrative that their buyers are demanding all this gadgetry, but, the truth, the reality, from surveys and polls independent of the automakers has shown every time that's not the case. Given a choice to pay for gee whiz tech at even a modest $2-3K markup vs standard gauges, it's telling that most people honestly don't give much of AF outside of "does this have Android/Apple car play?" As in, yes, smartphones, also a very disposable but far, far, FAR less expensive to own and replace pieces because many consumers ARE aware that it'll be cheaper and easier to replace a smartphone than a giant screen in their car. The car industry and the consumer are heading for a day of reckoning discussed on other car channels and you don't need to be an economist to grasp the current new car market and the economy is not sustainable.

Hilarious review! I was waiting with bated (or maybe baited!) breath on Mark to reveal the reason for his "clown car" driving position while Jack suppressed his laughter. We keep vehicles a long time. Your reviews have been most valuable in helping me decide on my next daily driver which will also be our road trip car. I drove the winner home last week: A 2022 Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition which has the same air suspension as the Cayenne S Coupe you reviewed in Oct. 2020. Ours has the lower power base 3.0 liter engine and it is more highly optioned. The optional Innodrive feature with its modest self driving capability will be particularly nice on boring Interstate highways. No gold bullion exchanged hands during the transaction - only money from many years of saving.

Coming from a C-Class I went to my local Benz dealer looking to trade into an suv, they wanted 50k over sticker for these or 10K over sticker for a glc. When I said I was a vet they said okay we'll do you a favor and only charge you 5K over sticker for the GLC. I went next door to BMW and they sold me an X5 45e at sticker plus a 2K discount for being a veteran. Done with Mercedes for life.

Rented the X7 for 2 weeks in Seattle and had a loaner GLS450 for a week. Not sure if I would agree with you in 3rd row seat and cargo space. The X7 3rd row was very small and cramped the the GLS and the trunk space was larger in the GLS. X7 felt like my GLE43 in interior space with the exception of a 3rd row. But overall I think both vehicles are great. I'll be trading in my GLE43 for the GLS580 next year.

As always I love your reviews guys - so funny! As an owner of a 2021 Q7 I am amazed at how the Germans do big crossovers. On the plus side, our Q7 rides better than any car with 21 inch wheels and low profile tires deserves to; it looks terrific with the black optics package and brown color. On the negative side, interior storage space is a total joke and the third row is not meant for regular people. Also, consumables for these European vehicles are much bigger than expected. I was shocked by how expensive snow tires were for our Q7, so buyer beware.

@@ahmedshasan I agree with you that it is more superior when considering the separate climate control and an independent sunroof, but the 3rd row space of GLS (x167) is for sure more spacious than the x7, I owned a 5+2 seats X5 before and planned to upgrade to x7 at the beginning, my experience is that the 3rd row of x7 is only a bit more space than my old x5, however, once I visited the GLS (x167), I decided to buy it right away since it really provides more space in 3rd row which my 4 kids enjoy them very much ^^, anyway, just to share my experience.

@@raymondwong487 Really interesting we had separate experiences with the same two cars lol. I really did enjoy the GLS shame it didn’t work out as I wanted it to. Hope you enjoy yours!

I wonder if we'll look back at this 35 years from now and think it's as cool as its '80s predecessor, the S124 Siebensitzer

I have the GLS550 as the winter car, family hauler and boat tower.. It is great. My wife has an X5 and she drives with the seat all the way forward as she is sub 5 foot. She wanted a GLE450 as it is a tich nicer, but impossible to find.

Do we know when the 2023 model will be out? 2022 is almost over so wondering how much will change.
