I am glad I got the 2011 instead of the 2012 as the front lights dosn't look proportional with the body. I think the steering wheel looks good (the one with the square push bottons) really compliment the angular dashboard but I won't mind the current one as it is as plain as the dashboard. The other steeing wheel is like from a old Merc car....I think from MLs. No shifter.....hmmm.....maybe the shifter will be on the steering column ALA ML but one has the paddle shifters.

I don't know it seems that the car was fitted with different parts from different present cars to see how they will save money but nevertheless It will look good.

Tend to agree (although I'll reserve judgement till I see the final product).

The new steering wheel is the only change that I'd like to have.

Notice in one interior shot with no shifter the steering wheel has the round 2011 buttons.

The 2012 US model will be a carry over...no M276 V6, no NTG 4.5. This may be a preview of a possible '13 refresh as it would be the 4th model year for the GLK and time for a small refresh in the middle of the cycle.

So the gear selector is on the steering column?

I HATE that!
