Was driving past our Mercedes yesterday, noticed they had about 6 or 7 GLK's in the lot, with a tent set up. Turns out it was a "first drive" for the employees. Enjoy the few pictures I took, didn't get as many as I wanted though.

The GLK looks MUCH better in person, they had a RDX and a X3 to compare, the GLK looked much more aggressive and new, of course. The interior borrowed alot from the C-class, but felt better built. They were all fully loaded of course, with the 20inch rims, Multimedia, panoramic roof, DVD players, etc.

Looks great...wonder if they scrapped the whole "Sport" and "Off Road" editions. These seem to be a blend of the two.

Thanks for the pics, akbro. Wifey wants one of these. Which dealership did you see these at? I am in SoCal and looks like these might be a "traveling road show". Any idea on what the loaded one was stickered @?

They were at Mercedes Benz of Fresno....and Im not sure..none of these had window stickers on them...sorry!! Id imagine in the mid 40's though. And ya, it's a traveling thing. The GLK's they had already had a couple thousand miles on them.

Thanks for sharing all the details you had. I will start calling around here and am sure will find out when they are hitting LA LA Land.

MBLN had them a couple weeks ago. The GLK is a fantastic little SUV and blows away its competition.

Cool pictures! Thanks for sharing.

From what I heard the GLK will be priced very close to the C, so expect high 40s to low 50s to get one well equipped.

Thanks.....now if only MB would publish the list of options.

Still no word on when they are hitting SFV I do think GLK is a competent contender to others and can't wait to drive one.

We all know what the only thing being hit in the SFV is..... Sorry I couldn't resist!

Thanks for best view yet AKBRO.

I plan to buy a GLK, pending my own extended test drive and once any dealer premium BS passes.

Your pictures are much better than the prof images on the net. Love the shot with the RX profiled in background.

Are the wheels the 20inch "option" or 19inch std? If the pictured wheels are the 20inch upgrade, are the ten spoke/5star wheels the std 19s? Hope so.

Thanks again,

new X3 looks way better than GLK IMHO...

You mean the old X3 in a new costume? Ha ha..with the failed success of the old version I would have thought that BMW would have sunk some money into it and retooled the whole thing, but instead they just did some freshing and left it alone. Engine and drive train have been greatly improved over the first go around of the X3 but over all style and function are still a void.

Now the X1 on the other hand looks interesting, but will be much smaller than a GLK. For this reason MB is considering a BLK to compete with it, both cars are just concepts at the moment..or are they?
