GL is a complete new model and looks good. It doesn't have a direct rival from BMW, but it's more expensive than ML so we can compare it with X6, so I don't think it has better sales
I've had an X6 and just ordered an X6M. I also have a 2012 GL550.

The short of it is, in no way possible, not even under any amount of influence of hallucinogenic mind-altering substances, can anyone ever compare an X6 to a GL.

You said it right - the GL doesn't have a direct competitor from BMW. And, in my opinion, the X6 does not have any direct competitor from MB or any other brand for that matter.

Agreed with you that GLK is ugly (and a piece of crap, I get one as a loaner all the time and it just feels cheap).

I guess it's

X1 - GLK
X3 - ML
X5 - GL

My personal opinion, X5 and GL are not in the same league of cars but I do think that they are intended to compete with each other. The GL is bigger and more luxury, whereas the X5 is smaller and more sporty.
