With these two, size does matter

Take a look at the photograph on this page. What do you see? You see two über SUVs, parked nose to tail. You see a rugged, arid landscape, with the setting sun casting light on the hills in the distance. What you don’t see, because of the scale of the SUVs within the overall photo, is that these things are almost 40 feet in combined length, including the gap between them in the photo. Forty feet, for heaven’s sake! You could seriously hurt yourself if you jumped off a 40-foot height. What I’m trying to say is that normal points of reference don’t apply here; you think you’ve got your mind around one set of dimensions, and another one comes along and smacks you in the face.

 

These vehicles are unashamedly and overwhelmingly about size, make no mistake – they’re not mucking about when it comes to sheer dimensions and engine capacity. If you let them loose, which one delivers the knock-out punch? I stood back and watched the fun (actually I participated with much gusto, but you get the idea).

My GL450 is a better option when it comes to day to day driving.

Quite surprised the CL is cheaper than the LC. How did that happen?
