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.
You're a little off on that list, it should be:

X1 - GLA
X3 - GLK
X5 - ML
X7 - GL

We're just waiting on the X7 and the GLA so that they each fill out their lineups. MB focused on the big SUV first where BMW focused on the small crossover.
