This might be more appropriate in the GLK forum, but it sounds like a great SUV. I am/have been considering upgrading my 2012 ML BlueTec to a 2016 GLE and now will have to consider the GLC. It is smaller than the GLE and only one engine choice right now, but has great specs. It has things the GLE should have like the 9G transmission, heads-up display, etc. Make sure to read the "Press Release" for details.

It certainly looks better than the GLK, but the exterior looks like a mix of Macan, Q5 and X3.

Cool car but way too small for anyone who likes the GLE size.
