What they’re saying
“The GLS-Class has never had it easy. The first and third letters of its abbreviatory name are all it takes to see why: it's forced to live in the shadow of both the legendary Gelandewagen and the iconic S-Class, to uphold the go-anywhere spirit of the former while delivering the sybaritic delights of the latter.”
