At least from that angle, still looks more or less like an ML.

Secondly, why do people feel the need to compete with the X6....

I believe it is too.
At best we would be seeing photochops before the real thing comes.

Anyways, I feel that this upcoming GLS may replace the R-Class in 2-3 years.
Even with the face-lifted R-Class, sales numbers are still lower than expectation.

The GLS should be able to outsell the R-Class, if the X6 and 5GT is used as an indicator.

If this is going to replace the R class I see it as a very good move. If it is going to compete with the X6, it is an even better move. The X6 has to be the ugliest vehicle produced since the Pontiac Aztec. ::)
