My Take: The Gs and GLs are a bunch of pimped up crossovers. There is practically no lease assistance from MB with the exception of a somewhat reduced money factor on the low-end GLs. If you got the money and need a crossover, you might as well get a Mercedes Benz. Just be aware that built-quality isn’t job #1.
