it is true, the GL is a bigger car than the X5. but x5 is for people who do not want to give up handling performance while still driving a truck. you don't have to convince me on the convertibles, i never liked them and never will. IMO convertibles are terrible, over priced and handles are limp noodle. if you don't want/need the handling aspect, MB/Audi are much cheaper. they are also much much bigger companies so they can make certain vehicles cheaper than bmw.
