Thinking the Unthinkable... or, is it the Inevitable?

One Car to carry them all, One Payment to give Them, One Car to serve them all and on the journey take them. The 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL550 I didn't think it would happen. I thought it would be the one that would last. I thought my 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STI would be my keeper--the perfect sports sedan to keep and enjoy for years and years. But I'm having doubts and it looks like my history of not keeping any vehicle for more than 5 years may be repeating.... Pictured above is the 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL550 . It has the same 5.5L V-8 engine with 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque that's available on the S-Class über-sedan and rides on 21" AMG alloy wheels with an available off-road package that includes center and rear locking differentials and a 2-speed transfer case. Luxury with on-road handling and off-road performance above other large, 7-passenger SUVs in its class: Could it be "The One" for us?
