As far as I'm concerned the GLK no longer exists.
I see no reason to get rid of my 2011 (which has only 23K miles)...

actually it was the GLC rendering photos that made me go out and buy the 2015 GLK... I did not want to miss out on the classic styling of the GLK....
it's only been about 10 days, and I am still very much in the honeymoon phase with my GLK250...
and insurance is cheaper than my old mini van :-) (is it because of the 2.1L engine size? )

Does not bode well for all the existing GLK buyers ending their 3-4 year auto leases then. Maybe will all the new models Mercedes is throwing out there, they should go ahead and launch the new softer GLC but maintain the GLK as the GL"Klassic" for 1 model year to judge the sales to see if continued production would be worth it. As is most things in life, once gone, everyone wants it. As so will be the GLK soon...

Except I wanted a GLK the minute I saw it (actually, when I drove it).
Can't say the same for this ML clone...

This is so funny to me. It happens every time Mercedes does a style change- the owners of the existing model hate the new one and swear that they will never trade. I'm looking forward to the new model. I love my current GLK but welcome a fresher look and look forward to more room inside.

I agree that there could be better interior space. When comparing a similar size BMW crossover, the BMW has more interior space with little difference in overall size. It will all be decided when the X205 hits the showrooms. Likely MB will lose a few X204 customers but will gain buyers who prefer a European built jelly bean style over others built elsewhere.
