I tested the Mercedes Gl 550 which proved to cohere to all of it's supposed performances. Even though it being a very large car, it was an easy drive. In this car i felt very secure and in control. It's definetely one of those gadjets too get.

Like all good toys they come at a price this GL comes at 368,000 Euro which is equivalent to little over 552,000 CHF. Even if you're able to aford this car you'll need to be able to pay for all of it's comsumption which ranges from 18,5 to 34,5 l/100 km. A very big consumption of both fuel and money. But neverthless it stays a unique car in it's own genre.
