Re: Mercedes-Benz GLK

I like the one found on the set of Sex and the City better. The one pictured above looks like the official concept released from MB. The one on the movie set is closer to production I think.

The 'Alien Face' steering wheel is a complete turn-off.

Agreed... and I don't think MB steering wheels have been improving lately in general

Re: Mercedes-Benz GLK

Kind of agree with Edmunds, looks like the last generation Subaru Forester. The wife likes it. Says it's "cute".

That's because it's designed for women.

It's just big enough to feel safe in, but not make them feel like they're driving a Yukon.

Exactly how the SL is a man's car, but the SLK is a tiny cute version of the SL.

 

Personally I think the 'crossover' idea is bad. They're basically making tall ugly cars that seat a lot of people that are reasonable on gas.

RE: Mercedes-Benz GLK

But will the women buy it just because it's cute?

All too many women I know like the feeling of 'safety' they get from being surrounded by 7000 lbs of Chevy Suburban..

I suppose so. But not everyone can justify a 150 dollar fillup.
