Very nice pictures, especially the stationcar. Was the GLK not supposed to be named MLK??

Now, if it looked like this, I'd be thrilled.

I don't care much on what they do with the Coupé. I'm sure it won't come to the US, just like the A and B won't come here either. I'm surprised the SMARTs did make it, but I think they over-estimate the sales numbers.
Why Mercedes-Benz chose to call it a "Coupé" is a question for Mercedes-Benz. Hatchback is just a moniker, and based on individual opinion. One can call a Corvette a hatchback, but no one will. Who cares. It's a car.
Putting a CL203 body on a W204 chassis is just asnine. And the facelifts of those spy pics of the new CL204 with ugly front end and even worse rear end, are no facelifts at all. Just made a unpopular car even worse. We won't see it in the US. Canada maybe.

I will always resort back to the handful of C32 ////AMG SportCoupes that never made it out of the Old World.
