...GLK that is.

This past weekend my wife and I purchased an Arctic White GLK. It's the first Merc for both of us, but the latest addition to the long list of German autos.

Truth be told, it was a hard purchase for me (easy for her), as I traded in my Infiniti FX35, which was amazingly fun to drive. She; however, did not like it at all. So, after a year and a half of owning it, I decided it was best to give it up. We still have the Bimmer 330 for spirited trips in the hills (at least until I trade that off ...)

Anyway...just wanted to say hey to everyone. I'll be catchin ya on the forum.

 

Congrats and welcome, you might wanna post your location in your profile. There are lot of members from Canada, so when questions arise it's good to know which model we are talking about (US vs. Canadian).

 

Thanks! That's a good point. I noticed the confusion already in some of the questions.

So that being said I am in the Northern California region.

cheers...

 

from a fellow arctic white owner, congrats and welcome!!

 

Welcome! btw, GLK is way more fun to drive than the FX! (the 35 at least :-X)

 

Thanks guys. I am very much looking forward to getting to know the next chapter of German engineering in my stable.

 

I actually considered new FX37. The thing was pretty fast, and very luxurious inside unlike any other infiniti. I think FX37 is better than ML350 never mind GLK IMO. It was just too big for us (I have to park in garages everyday) and more pricey at the time. Also MB service was 10x better.

 

The '09 FX's are very nice. The interior is one of the best I have seen in the luxury SUV/Crossover segment. This said; however, the price Infiniti is attempting to squeeze over the last few year's release is pretty ridiculous...on par with what BMW is trying to get, and that is hard for me to say.

I have always loved me a BMW from my beloved '72 2002 up to our current 330xi, but BMW Corp is getting way to big for their manager pants if you ask me.

At this rate I will end up with two Mercs in my garage or a Merc and Audi. Time will tell.

 

Congrats and welcome to the family... for a sec when i read your title, I was like ....

Got mine last thursday and lately been AWOL, will post my own review and pics soon...

 

I thought it was your post at first...till I saw it wasn't you.

 

Cool, welcome to the GLK Family!!! Got mine in May and loving it. Will post some pictures soon.

 

Baby G: I didn't even realize there was a member with the name "Baby G". Oddly coincidental...sorry for the confusion...and thanks!

 

No need to apologize. It's all good welcome to the family.
