Looks like Priddy & Company got the drop on the new upcoming baby M-Class, better known as the GLK-Class. This vehicle will go up against the BMW X3, Land Rover LR2, Acura RDX and the new Infiniti EX35.
Expect a 270 horsepower 3.5 engine, working through a 7-speed automatic and (of course) AWD. The vehicle will debut at the Detroit Auto Show in a few weeks...

Judging by the licence plate, I'm thinking that'll be driven by Sarah Jessica Parker. For driving impressions, I suppose we'll have to track her down.

It looks like a developing world delivery van. AWFUL, absolutely awful. I think I actually see hints of the Jeep Patriot in the rear hatch and taillights. Absolutely awful.

Really? It strikes me as a Forester/Highlander homogulation.

It looks like a C class on stilts. 3 Things Bug me...
1)NO info on the HOPEFULLY AVAILABLE 3lBluetec/CDI engine with 215hp and 395lbs ft. If it has this, BMW and will surely bring out an X3 amd Q5 diesel respectively.
2)The Cargo space seems to be really small. And I don't even see any sign of a Panoramic sunroof. The X3 has it and it was one of the hottest features on the SRX when it first came out.
3) The Resemblance I see to a VW Tiguan/AudiQ5. The Tiguan is just curvy... Ths GLK is more boxy.
Otherwise, nice SUV. At first the name GLK seemed... EEK... But it grew on me like the syling. It gets a thumb up.

Looks pretty big and boxy, unlike the others in the class like the EX35, MKX, RDX etc.

Looks good to me, in a function-over-form kind of way.
estreka: funny thing is I came from a Forester! LOL
