Can't believe Mercedes would build such an ugly car.

WERD! The front end looks like the Ford Edge.

Yet another model. Soon Mercedes going to have 3 cars in the same category but at all different prices. Which it's almost like that anyways.

So the GLK competes against? BMW X3?

I can't keep track of all the Mercedes models anymore...
I saw a GL couple days ago and I didn't even know such a model existed till I saw it...I probably see it everyday but not noticing the difference between that and the ML; and now this.

Note to MB: you have more concerns to address other than building more models...

ok i've gotta say it.

buying a cute-ute is basically like buying the badge ... when my mum was looking into her next suv i went to bimmer and thought 'ok lets see what this x3 is all about' ... so bad, cheep finishing, complete lack of any features, basically its buying the badge ... if you're buying the badge YOU SHOULD BUY SOMETHING ELSE ... you can take the same money you would spend on a lux cute-ute and get a better non-lux brand [possibly slightly larger] suv

i didnt even drive the x3, i was like '4get this, she would never ever buy this, lets go drive the x5' ... the difference between the x3 and x5 was huge

the point: ppl are stupid to buy the badge, and i personally think lux brands are, not stupid, [because clearly they're after profit margin] but something like stupid, for making it available for people ... takes away exclusivity ... saying 'i drive a bimmer' can mean almost ANYTHING now

ok rant finished

Looks kinda like an MB version of the Jeep Liberty.

Anyway, I'm waiting for the GLK63

so you didn't even drive the X3 and think the X5 is so much better? X3s aren't bad, just pricey IMO.

nope didnt even drive the x3 ... the interior was just too crummy to even concider

but yea that was my point, lux cute-uts are pricey for what you get, under any other badge ppl wouldn't pay that price for that quality
