2009 Mercedes GLK Undisguised With Official Information

http://www.egmcartech.com/2006/12/20...l-information/


After all those spy shots and all the hype, we are finally seeing some official detail and images of the upcoming 2009 Mercedes Benz GLK. AutoBild is reporting that the 2009 Mercedes GLK will be on the road in August 2008. The small SUV, which is Mercedes’ answer to the BMW X3, Volvo XC60 and the upcoming Volkswagen Tiguan will measure 4.50 meters long and will be based on the platform of the C-Class (much like the X3 which is based on the 3-Series platform). In addition to three different V6 variants, the Mercedes GLK will also come in a 2.2 liter four cylinder diesel engine that will produce about 204 horsepower.

The Mercedes GLK will have a trunk space of 450 liters along with a tank size of 80 liters. The car is expected to be priced around 36,000 euros. Click through for the image of the back.

That's good-looking, IMO...why in the HE$L would they wait til August of 08 to introduce it, when the competition is already out the gate (after inventing the lux SUV segment, they waited a long time on the GL and now the GLK)...

I have to agree, why does MB produce GLK when they already have ML is beyond me.

That's not a real photo, that is a photoshop.

The reason for the GLK is to compete against the X3, upcoming Q5 and more.

That isn't a real or official photo. Why do people fall for that and announce it as such?
