The F-Pace actually has 19" wheels, but is using the UK configurator. I just looked at the Belgium configurator and yes for the GLC those wheels seem to be AMG 43 only. I can't believe how much more expensive they are than in the UK. In the UK it is a £1,100 option, and it is a whopping €1,936. That is just ridiculous.

With your history of Coupe's maybe you should wait for a coupe The GLC would be a great, and the hybrid engine looks very interesting actually. I wished they did that one in the UK, great for tax benefits.

The thing with the GLC suv as I configurated above (so no AMG 43) compared to the F-pace, when you cross it on the streets the F-Pace makes an impact, it stands out. While the GLC is very pretty, but it blends with the other suv's like Audi and BMW...

So, should I pay 60k for such a car or for a very spacious more standing out F-pace. (as a big Mercedes lover)

We've had out GL for the last three years, now called GLS but basically the same, and wanted something smaller as certain car parks were really hard to get into or just not possible. Like some of the streets and underground car parks in Brugge, or the Barbican in London, or nearly all in Barcelona.

Whilst the F Pace (my neighbour has go the bi-turbo 3.0 diesel version in S spec) is smaller than the GLS it is still a big old car - a lot more space than the GLC. Colour is a challenge as I think it looks really basic in some colours. Our neighbour got hers in Black Metallic, Black Interior and Black wheels. Looks fantastic.

If you are looking at that size, don't forget the Maserati Levante. It is not out in the UK, but I noticed one on the streets of Paris early August so I guess it is out in Belgium as well. I think it is lovely, but again a fair bit bigger than the GLC.
