I need to get a new tow vehicle that I can also use for the daily

'07 BMW X5 4.8 (limited info out right now)

or

'07 MB GL450

Any thoughts? I have an '04 X5 4.4 right now. I've never had a
Mercedes but I am impressed with what I see in the GL.

Thanks,

A 4.8 liter engine for a daily commuter? A fool and his money...

Both are very small V-8 engines and there are less efficient V-6's on
the road. The trip to my office is 18 miles so 1-2 mpg is nothing.

BTW - both are made in the US with union labor. Seems like just a few
weeks ago you were talking up some Japanese vehicles...
