Brought the Metris over to my coworker's house who owns a GL. We parked next to each other for a comparison. We tried to line up the front wheel centercaps.
The fronts were the same length, obviously the ground clearance was won by the GL.
While the rear of the GL was maybe an inch or two longer, the Metris had a longer wheelbase. Metris being quite a bit taller too.
These numbers could all be Googled, but I thought it nice to have a visual comparison.
