But if I'm not allowed to say bling, how else am I to succinctly describe Mercedes Benz's new GL550? A marriage of the company's largest sport utility vehicle and its latest high tech V8, in consummating the union, Mercedes has bestowed the new top of the line GL with all manner of shiny bits. The grille is festooned with chrome trim as are the foglamp surrounds, the side door trim and roof rails. The 550 also wears a set of gargantuan 21 inch AMG rims, though I'm assured this is the stock version and not some Mercedes Canada project vehicle to test a warehouse full of accessories. No matter what the Editrix says, it is fully blinged out. Of course, what Mercedes really wants you to notice is that the 5.5 litre V8 has 382 horsepower in the spec box opposite engine output rather than the old 4.7's 335. Normally, the addition of 47 extra horses would not be that great a temptation to break out the champagne, but the GL is a brontosaurus...<br><a href="http://all-info-here.com/news/6807">http://all-info-here.com/</a>
