First Look: 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK - The GLK will be introduced this summer in Europe in an attempt to fill a gap in the company's lineup, a size class in the marketplace that's already occupied by archrival BMW with its X3, among others. (more)

| It would appear that during the recent Daimler Chrysler divorce that the Benz parent got custody of the kid that designed the interiors of recent Chrysler products. This GLK interior is awful in the same way interiors in the Caliber/Compass/ Patriot are awful. All hard edges and blocky, graceless forms executed in what appears to be hard grey plastic - whether it is soft to the touch or not. I can't recall a more unattractive, cheap-looking M-B interior. But then, BMW interiors are no paragon of beauty, either. | |

You're Dreaming when you say: "there are those who believe that fuel prices will shift people out of utility vehicles and into automobiles. But this anti-SUV agenda doesn't have any basis in reality." Aerodynamic Reality is going to reduce the SUV market. |

The local Seattle dealer is hosting 6 GLKs from the Factory for the next day or so, I think they are getting up to speed on the vehicles. I saw two dark blue, two white and a dark red, and I have to say all look very good. Various interior colors, black, tan and gray. I really like all of them. Compact, but still roomy. Just bought a C350 for my self, but snapped a few photos to show the wife - she really digs this car, perhaps it will be time to introduce her to Mercedes in the spring...

Replying to: murphydog (Sep 14, 2008 6:57 pm) The car is peppy. It's also bigger inside than it would appear to be from the outside. Looks like a winner. We're also considering a Volvo XC90 and the boss wants to drive both again before making a decision, which we'll probably do within the next week or so. Salesman couldn't/wouldn't give numbers. Anyone have any ideas as to what MB might do in the way of lease programs to get this guy off the ground?

Replying to: crestonave (Dec 07, 2008 4:49 am) I have seen a few slightly used ML 350s for low to mid 30's - so I would expect them to careful with the price - we shall see. Saw several at the auto show and the local Seattle dealer hosted ~ 7 of them in September for regional training I think. Saw a Navy Blue with tan interior - looked great!

Replying to: murphydog (Dec 08, 2008 7:32 pm)  Perhaps MB will come out with an aggressive lease program just to get some on the road as a way of introducing them to the public. In any case, our dealer has our indication of interest and told us that he'd be back to us when he has numbers. I'll post as soon as I get them. She's also looking at the Volvo XC90 and wants to drive both again before making a final decision.
