I have the non adaptive suspension and i love it, I think its pretty smooth but also doesn't have that airmattic wallow or bottom out effect in comfort My car was 67k with pano room, high end burmester, ambient, tech packages, 21 inch wheels with the nice fenders, running boards tow hitch etc It drive so beautifully, it feels more nimble than my s550 cabriolet lol Also when i bought it 2 months ago there were literally 0 options, I lost out on 4 cars in 4 straight days as its been the hottest mercedes seller... I didn't drive 450 so not sure how it feels but im sure more power is nice, however i just like the more relaxed/smooth ride of the 350 and have my monster cars when I want that... its nice to relax Only option I wish I had gotten is the amg appearance pack, however, there weren't any avail ! But i love the athletic look with the widened fenders, offset of the 21 inch wheels and running boards... reminds me of the older bmw x5 4.6-8 |

I was a Mercedes guy too. I had a 2012 CLS550 that I loved and a 2016 E400 that was average. We just bought two 2021 Yukon Denali s. I love mine so far. It’s the grey one. I have driven it around 700 miles so far and it has been fantastic. Quieter than the E400

Great choice - the xc90 is a fantastic car. It also does plenty well for off road too. Volvo are famed for their safety, practicality and long range comfort.

Good choice. I felt like I was the only one pushing that in this thread. It’s incredibly overlooked

after everything I drove home in a 4runner night shade w/ 3rd row, too much snow around here and I want to rebuild my old overland rig, we do lots of camping, will post pic after some upgrades are done!
We just wont use the 3rd row enough to base the entire purchase around it steve |

Getting my wife a new SUV in the next month or so. Debating the Mercedes GLS vs Cadillac Escalade.
The Escalade's size just works so well and the new 2021 is pretty fantastic. The GLS is very nice as well - it's only downfall to me is the lack of space behind the third row.

I love the X7 & GLS BUT like you said when the third row is up there isn't enough room for an uppa stroller. Same with the previous gen short wheel tahoe/escalade - Thank God they finally fixed that. Good luck with your choice I will be in the same boat in the near future myself.

I have had x5’s, suburbans, tahoes and a Rover. Right now, I own two new landcrusers and a 911 (and a Honda for the kids). I am really happy with the Land cruisers but I live part time in a ski town and drive in bad weather quite a bit. The landcruser is definitely the best I have found for my needs. I really never use the 3rd row.

After a succession of land rovers, I now drive the land cruiser. I absolutely love this car, it’s absolutely perfect off road and I’ve never felt more secure navigating tricky mountain tracks or snow. While it does have 3 rows of seats, we’ve never used the 3rd row.

Recently had the 2021 Tahoe for a week as my 2020 Tahoe was in for service at the dealership. Some subjective observations:
- The 2021's technology is outstanding. My current Tahoe is an LT as was the 2021 Tahoe I drove so the comparison is apples to apples. The new generation felt to be in a league of its own. Granted...this is to be expected whenever a new iteration of a vehicle comes out...but the difference in the 2020 to the 2021 was very apparent. - The 2021's turn signal felt rather flimsy...almost like a toy. The turn signal on my 2020 Tahoe is significantly sturdier. - The 2021's shifting changed drastically...no longer the tried and true shift setup of most trucks I've ever driven...the shift setup in the new Tahoe has been emasculated. You can now press a button on the dash to change from park to drive. Perhaps the misses will appreciate the update! Very cool vehicle nonetheless and would recommend the Tahoe to anyone in the SUV market. |

Suvs from 60-80k
Ended up with a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS - so far she’s thrilled with it - got to make it a Christmas present as well lol. Just noticing here Day Date in the pic as well ha ha. Really an easy choice - build quality is top notch as well as safety - it's just a really nice car nothing like the previous generation.

Congrats with the employee price you can’t go wrong I imagine, the new GLS is super ahead of the past gen, enjoy in good health.

If it's just going to sit for 355 days a year, I would go 4Runner or Lexus GX.

I have an Alfa Romeo Stelvio and love it but doesn’t have 3 rows of seats for you unfortunately.
