SPIED! Mercedes-Benz GLA

Yeah, it's THAT bad

And then some. That is the most horrible thing I've seen in a while...

That is the ugliest damn thing I've ever seen! It better not even remotely resemble that. Talk about making a mockery of the M-B Design language, lol.

From today´s Autozeitung cover

It`s so small that picture, you can barely see something interesting !

Autozeitung published this one a while back. Doesn't look the same?

The GLC comes in 2014 with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive

The compact-SUV: The GLC Baby-Benz off-roader starts in 2014 with the code X156, and is also based on the new front-wheel drive architecture.

All-wheel drive is intended only for the strongest versions of the 4.40 meter long good climbers: GLC250 4Matic CGI (1.8-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, 204 hp) and GLC220 CDI 4Matic (2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel, 170 PS).

Well it won't be that hard to look better than both Q3 and X1 IMO.

I cant even imagine an SUV smaller than a GLK, which is already the worst in its class in interior room. Makes no freakin sense at all.

It's a dumb gimmick indeed. Hopefully it'll be a failure, as I can't imagine it bringing pleasant eye candy to M-B showrooms, or showing off M-B's form/function capabilities (i.e, it'll be the opposite). The GLK is bad enough, one can only hope that there won't be a second generation of it.

BMW really isn't doing any better. X1,X2(Planned)X3,X4(Planned)X5,X6,X7(Planned) and an M variant of all of these as well.

I'd much rather prefer to have the GLK in Mercs line-up then the abomination that is the R Class. It is basically a Mercedes Benz Minivan. Couldn't Chrysler just leave the van stuff to the Town and Country?

If M-B releases a second-gen of the R-Class, you'll hear a face-palm slap to the face worldwide. :eusa_doh:

One rumored sleeker option, based on the W205 next C.

CLR --> C for C-Class, L for Longer Wheelbase, R for Roomier

Let's hope it stays that way.

Now that would be HOT, just what Mercedes needs to capture the youth market. That if funky as hell and will people flocking to Mercedes showrooms. BUILD IT.

Latest rumors :eusa_doh:

"Cannon says the R-Class could go away as early as next year, although no firm decision has been made."
