"mini" M Class?

I have read that there is potentially a smaller SUV due out from MB for 2008.
Does anyone know about this?

You don't think Mercedes would let the X3 go unchallenged, do you?

ML 350-Black=Sold. New 08 C300 4Matic, Black/Black, P1, Ipod, Auto7speed, 10/10 hit 100,000 miles
It will probably be the same chasis as the new Dodge mini SUV. I saw one today and seems to be the right size for an MLK.

Release date?

Does anyone know when the MLK will be released here in the states? I did do a litle research and found 2007 and 2008.

Thanks,

The next Land Rover Freelander...

is (as well as the Auid Q5) aiming for the same market.

No. The new smaller MLK (as it is being called right now) is based on he next generation C-Class, due here in the U.S. for the 2008 model year. The MLK will come for the 2008 model year in the summer of 2008.

Yes, that is what is reported in the Autospies blurb posted above.
