My SoCal Benz dealer in Arcadia is sending me the order sheet forone of their fist GLKs expected to arrive late November. Car is on the boat in transit. Order sheet will have cost for all options etc.
My dealer is going to a MB/GLK training day mid-December. Dealer said they will very likely give test drives, prior to training.
Thanks emesap43 for the interesting Euro Brochure. That did clear up the wheel size and selection question I asked in another thread.

Very interesting Blk041Cobra1, thanks
A few observations.
No Sport Pack for USA? No shift paddles? No 5 star/tuning fork 20" wheels for USA?
Appears USA gets Euro off-road, two bar grill and wheels, but not the off-package?
No pine vs burl for USA? No interior Sport pack for USA?
Euro Sport pack has the three bar grill?
Euro Off-road pack has the two bar grill?
USA does not get sport or off-road pack?
Only a matter of days and this will all be cleared up.

I just found this "consumer" GLK brochure from the Danish Mercedes site:

Emesap43, this brochure is the sexiest, best pictures of the GLK yet, but are they really a Danish brochure? The supposed USA, Euro and now Danish versions all have significant conflicts. BTW, many of the shots in Danish brochure are downtown LA in front of my old office at Wells Fargo Center/Bunker Hill.
Danish version is factually same as Euro version. Something about all these different brochures and limitted USA version does not seem right.
As a past VP responsible for International Mktg/Sales for a company that consulted for Euro Auto and Areospace companies, this redundent investment just does not seem riht.
Very interesting and great new pictures however. Thanks much. IMHO, the "Danish" brochure has the very best, sexy sales photos yet.

Disclaimer in back of GLK Brochure from DK site
You raise a good point. After I found the brochure via Google, I re-located it by navigating to the Danish MB site. Someone told me that there is some rules regarding vehicles across the EU. Perhaps this is what is going on here... a generic brochure for the EU market posted on a country specific site.
There is also this disclaimer in the back of the brochure:
Please note : changes may have been made to the product since this brochure went to press ( 30.04.2008 ). The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the design, form, colour and specifi cation during the delivery period, provided these changes, while taking into account the interests of the vendor, can be deemed reasonable with respect to the purchaser. Where the vendor or the manufacturer uses symbols or numbers to describe an order or the subject of an order, no rights may be derived solely from these. The illustrations may show accessories and items of optional equipment which are not part of standard specifi cation. Colours may diff er slightly from those shown in the brochure, owing to the limitations of the printing process. This brochure has been compiled by Daimler AG of Germany and is distributed internationally. It provides a general indication of the range of models, features, optional extras and / or colours available in various countries. Some of the models, features, optional extras and / or colours may not be available in your country, or may only be available in a diff erent specifi cation. Additionally some models, features, optional extras and / or colours may only be available in combination with others. For current and more specifi c information in relation to the range of models, features, optional extras and / or colours available in your country, and their pricing, you should contact your nearest authorised Mercedes - Benz Passenger Car Dealer. www.mercedes-benz.com
This hints that this is an even more generic brochure.
