Took Delivery of new GLK 350 (pics)
Iridium Silver
4-Matic
P1 Package
Navigation (non-command)
My parents traded in their '99 ML320 for this. I really wanted them to at least get the lighting package cause they are getting older. Xenons and self turning lamps would help a lot, but sadly, none of the dealers had one with it unless it was fully loaded and they got a sweet deal on this one because i had a feeling the dealer just wanted to unload it. They are only paying $450/month for a 3 year lease.
Personally I wanted them to get the AMG Package too, but it's alright, can't be too selfish.
I love the way the car looks though, it's very aggressive and it's really fast for an SUV, so passing and entering the freeway is no problem at all. The exhaust growl is something that I would expect in a more expensive Mercedes. The only thing I put into it were a pair of Silver Star Ultras for the low beams which made visibility a little better.
I took some pics of it today, enjoy!
I wanted to say hi and introduce myself to this sub forum, I've been on this forum for a long time but haven't posted much over the last few years, I'm still driving my little w202 c230k sport which is still a peppy little thing.

Very nice! Actively searching for one currently with AMG and premium 1 package in either silver, or the Steel Grey. I'm sure your parents will enjoy it!

Congrats!

Thanks! The car photographs beautifully and it's a welcomed change to all the jelly bean looking suvs out there. I love how the car is very blocky and angular. Im going to take it out to more different settings and take some more photos.

Congrats! It's funny how you can stare at pictues of a car that you have in your own garage. Looks great, best of luck.

great pics, welcome
Agree with Ken, these pictures make GLK look closer to top line MB than entry level.
I thought LEDs were standard on new models...

GLK350
Great pics!!!
Also, for 2011 GLK350s in the US at least, LED DRLs are included with the AMG appearance package (even without the lightining package) or with the lighting package (without the AMG package). Standard is still the round fogs as seen in the pic above.
BTW, our special ordered GLK350 finally arrived from Germany this week (almost 5 months after we ordered due to shortages of the AMG wheels) and we got both the AMG appearance and lighting package. I still don't love the 20" AMG wheels (the wife does and they get lots of compliments so they stay on for now...at least until I pick up a set of the 7-spoke 20" wheels when she needs new tires) but the lightining package is well worth the cost for anyone that's ever wondering!

Sorry, my bad... you're right NYC? 
The GLK in these pics is not a 2011.5 model! Something's not right????
EDIT: Actually this is a new 2011 GLK. My apologies to the OP for doubting your claim. Congrats, welcome and happy motoring.
PS To get the LED DRL featured in this pic, you must purchase the Premium Pkg #1.

FOR ALL US MODELS (equipment is likely different in other countries)
2011 GLK350 (standard, no packages) includes round fog lights:
2011 GLK350 with the LIGHTING PACKAGE includes these LED DRLs:
2011 GLK350 with the AMG APPEARANCE/STYLING PACKAGE includes these LED DRLs:
