OT: '13 GLK Autoweek drive review

So, they say it comes with stop/start - not sure if that will be standard for the US or they were going by a German press release. Also, gets the AMG styling package option and exposed tailpipes. That gripes me!

I like that new GLK makeover, especially with the AMG kit.

You know, for the longest time before I picked up mine, I didn't dig that the ML350 didn't have exposed exhaust pipes even with the standard AMG styling kit we get here in Canada. Having driven mine for over a month now, I have to admit, I am liking the rear a lot now with the pipes tucked behind the trim. The rear 3/4 view is the ML's best side I think.
