Build location?

Is the GLK going to be built in Europe or Alabama?

It will be hard to price it alongside the new X3 in Canada if it is built in Europe due to the 6.1% duty on non-NA built vehicles.

New X3 will be built in SC, alongside X5 and X6.

Will they really bring the 4 cylinder diesel model??? MBUSA displays a diesel, but dealers and press releases say gas motor. Anyone has any ideas? I hope diesel.

They flirted with the idea of bringing over a diesel, but have decided with 300 and 350 gas engines only.

That is, same as the C-class, on which the GLK is based.
