Doubtful, although if you want to send a letter to MBUSA, I'll sign it.

MB withdrew the W203 wagon because of poor sales and too much competition. No doubt the W204 would be in the same situation.

Yes, the GLK is supposed to suffice. No W204 wagon for the US market.

the bottom line is that wagons just arent as popular in the US as in europe so its not cost effective to bring it over here.

on the other hand, they still provide the E class wagon.

I'd wish but MBusa thinks the GLK will be a better model to take its place in the North American market.

I'd think the C-class estate would be a worthy competitor to the BMW 3-series wagon and Audi A4 Avant.
I would definitely get a C-class estate -- a very nice looking wagon.

I saw the GLK this week at my benz dealer in Montreal, Canada.

they look pretty nice.

I had also seen one on display at the airport in Greece this summer.

i find GLK way sweeter than a w204 wagon.
never was a fan of c-class wagon.. maybe only the c63.. but even then . . .just get the sedan

S204 is not selling a lot in Europe, compared to W204...better for me!
