The BMW X1 is my favorite in this group. I've been seeing them around Munich lately and they're actually quite lovely looking. It's a well-balanced design to me. The XC60 is also a nice and pleasing design.

The GLK is only attractive to me when it comes with these rims and this color:

I despise the GLK with the off-road package. It looks terrible and cheap.
 
I'd like white GLK with AMG package and 20'' wheels from wimmers pic :D

in these pics x1 is best lookin'
 
X1 or XC60....then GLK. The BMW and Volvo just have a more appealing design. The Volvo interior especially.

The GLK interior is embarrassing. BMW looks almost 'cool,' so to speak. Should be popular with the young crowd.
 
Wow! The X1 really looks good next to the Volvo and the Merc! I'd be happy with the GLK or the X1...not sold on the Volvo.
 
The X1 looks so cool, and the interior is beautiful, especially compared to the GLK...

What the heck is that guy doing with that decoy and the outfit???!:D
 
My favorite small SUV is the Q5, especially with S-line. Using marketing targeted towards women, Mercedes have alienated the GLK from me.
 
In my opinion the XC60 is the best looking SUV here!! Modern, elegant, quite sporty and lovely interior. Second place for the X1 - love the interior and also exterior isn't bad. GLK is a bit to boxy - and it isn't a G-Class. Interior is also not my favourite - well wood looks much better then this Aluminium parts…
 
Well the first thing I noticed is that the GLK should be compared to the X3 not X1...

But since they are comparing them...

The GLK is nice and looks rather unique on the road. On the other hand I like my cars to look smooth and have flowing designs. I would have rathered a mini GL or M isn't of a mini G-class. The interior is nice, but if you move all the Benz symbols, would you really think it was a Benz interior. Still nice for what it is though.

The BMW X1 nice job coming from BMW. It has a strong presence and is almost elegant in some photos. Interior is welcoming for it's segment. Far better looking then the current X3. Plus the grill makes it seem more powerful then it really is.

The Volvo looks rather cute and comfortable. Looks like it could really be a nice city wagon.

I doubt that I would buy any of them since I prefer larger SUVs like the M and GL size. If I had to pick, I would say the X1.


Hmm...He must be on that stuff!
 
GLK > Q5. If anything, Q5 is much, MUCH more of a women's car. Without identity I might add. And besides, GLK and Q5 aren't small. X1 is small.

Agree here,the really smooth and roundy shape of the Q5 makes it an instant chick car while the boxy angular GLK design appeals more to guys,i certainly see more guys/men driving the GLK more than girls/women.
 
The XC60 is good looking, no doubt. I wonder what stereotype they would have put in the rear of the Volvo...
