Finally, after battling a string of technical difficulties yesterday which prevented us from attending to the sea of tips flooding our inbox, our tech guys have informed me that everything is back to normal and that regular posting can once again commence.  So if sent us a tip the last couple days, thank you; we haven't forgotten about it, nor are we unappreciative; we're just a little behind schedule and are doing everything we can to get back on track by the end of the day. Thanks again; hang in there and we'll do our best to cover all that we missed.

First up we have several reviews sent to us by our good friends Shiv and Jinx, all three of which provide a look at a Mercedes GL model.  The first, published by Car and Driver, provides a brief look at Mercedes new GL320 CDI , bestowing Americans with a short preview of what to expect from the diesel seven-passenger sport-ute.  The second and third reviews, both of which analyze the GL500, provide Australians with a somewhat more in-depth analysis of the flagship GL model; although both contain some sentiments towards the SUV that I tend to disagree with.

To learn more, you can find all three reviews below; and to Shiv and Jinx: thanks for the tips gentlemen, we're always grateful.
