as i know that the 1st year prod is always a problem for other car makers.
How is MB quality compared to other cars like japanese ones. that decides if it is wrth the wait, and i hope the wait is not 2 years else i will get the GL450 now.
You're really having problems with this.

GL has been out since 2006--any "first year production problems" are long since past.

The V8 diesel has been out since 2005.

"Bluetec" is nothing but some stuff added on to the exhuast pipe--it's NOT a new engine and it's NOT a new car.

There's NOT going to be a new GL in 2009 and there's NOT going to be any new diesel engines in 2009.

The V8 WILL NOT be sold in the USA--you will be waiting for the V6 to be "bluetec'd."
