CHECK THE NEW GLK

Mercedes Gets 'Sexy'Â*- 2008 Detroit Auto Show - MSN Autos

[HarmsWay]

Hmmm... well I hope they do some serious re-work on that front end. But hey - looks like 'it will eventually be offered' with the diesel so maybe they'll make that AMG diesel after all.

hmmmmmm... That back quarter makes me think of the Scion xB.

[MJ50]

reminds me of PT cruiser....

Is it just me or does it seem that MB is overcomplicating its lineup with too many models?

Also, don't they usually add the 'vision' designation for concept cars? It seems they usually do when they show one at the Miami Intl Auto Show.

Yeah, just like the Vision GL420 Bluetec, Vision Grand Sports Tourer, etc.

Looks just like the new C Class in the front end, but somehow it's not working for me on the truck. I love the C Class look, I wonder if MB is trying to move all vehicles to this look.
