Mercedes-Benz GLK (spy photos & info)

Re: NEW GLK Spy Photos

I personally think that the X3 looks tons better than the chop. It is just so emotionless.
I seriously wouldn't mind having the FL X3 at all.

I think Hucks original chop is much more accurate than this latest one.

Is it me, or do I see some Chrysler / Jeep styling cues in this thing?

I said from the first set of these it reminds me very much of a jeep commander in the profile shot.

Same here. I just had to ask again.

Folks, I wouldn`t complain about the boxy look of this vehicle, I mean look at the GL, It`s rather boxy but it`s design is still quit handsome, toned and very much MB in design. I`m expecting nothing less of the GLK when it comes on the scene.

More pictures, the proortions just look a little off. The hood looks really long.

Honestly this looks better than the X3 already. But if it's anything....this thing better look better than the VW Tiguan...hell as of right now even the Ford Edge looks better.

I have a feeling that it's gonna be a killer. Great looking just like the GL-Class!

So it will be a road-like SUV, like the RAV4 is meant to be?

Well, this at least doesn't look better than X3:

Wow, that's a pretty bad photoshop. It's not even smoothed out.

I'm not crazy about the GLK either, but I'm sure it'll look like a mini GL-Class with some Jeep styling cues.

Guess that bad photoshop was pretty close.

Funny how MB is driving this car with an M license plate. Munich is BMW territory.

Re: NEW GLK Spy Photos

It seem like the GLK is going to have a "boot" shape like the X3. When will the car be launched, Autum 2007?

Re: NEW GLK Spy Photos

It's obvious the new car will be named GLK (GLK-class). Lately DCX filled applications for GLK 63, GLK 65, GLK 350, GLK 220, GLK 320 name registration in EU.

GLC (GLC-class) is also in the registration process. Like I said before: MB are developing a SAC (X6 competitor)!

Re: NEW GLK Spy Photos

Are they really going to make a GLK and a MLK???

No. The GLK is the MLK. It was intially thought that it was going to be called MLK, but it has been discovered, that it won't be called MLK, instead it will be called GLK. I think they changed the name because the look is a boxier one like the GL unlike the ML.

I agree, BMW better step there game up next time around. The GLK, Tiguan, and even the Acura RDX are going to stiffen up competition a bit.......alot

If they just do the same what they did with the X5 it should be the competition to be concerned.

Anyway I'm a bit unsure about the shape of the GLK... The boxiness doesn't look too good IMO.
