What's with the X?

I've noticed in some posts and on some avatars the mention of "GLK X".

Last time I checked... there was only one trim of the GLK available in North America... and in the US the 4 Matic also is an option.

Am I missing something?

2010 GLK350 4matic and my favorite Vintage 1982 PK Ripper Looptail
In Canada, the base GLK now includes the Sport Package (Aluminum Roof racks and 20" rims). The base price before was $41,800 (w/o Sport Package).......now the base price is $42,900 (w/ Sport Package). The Sport package was only $700. So, the base model now GLK X 350 is actually $400 more than before. The " GLK X ", I think is only an internal MB code.

Oh. I was aware of the recent base model upgrade and corresponding price increase but I didn't realize that this is what the "X" was refering to.

Hmmm... perhaps I should run over to my MB dealer and give them 400 bucks... then I too can say I drive a GLK 350 X... loljj.

Wait a minute! I was supposed to be the only one with that model. Damn I got ripped off!
