Took delivery of a 2011 GL550. Dumped the 35d.

3 months. LOL

I would drive a lemon'ed 2007 E70, before I bought an Escalade or a
Navigator!!!!

And I think the 35d is still an amazing SUV. The engine, brakes and transmission are excellent. HUD and i-Drive are awesome.

I just cannot deal with electrical issues, rattles, battery......

The GL will not be perfect, but the 4-5 people I know (2 are neighbors) who have one...love it. No problems at all, and no rattles or battery problems!!

I'm sure the next X5 (2013 model) will lure me back!!!!

Of course I was just teasing! I really meant to say a Hummer H2.
