If you’re seriously shopping in the upscale SUV category and are drawn to the Lexus RX 350 and/or the BMW X5, you may very well find your new home away from home behind the wheel of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
If, like so many SUV buyers today, you’ll settle for no fewer than three rows of seats, you’ll have to look somewhere else. Mercedes-Benz does, however, offer a third-row seat in its G-Class SUV.
