Mercedes-Benz GLK to cost around 35,000 Euros

First of all, let’s get the model name cleared up. The upcoming baby SUV from Mercedes-Benz has been called either the MLK or the GLK. Well now it’s official; the compact SUV will be called the ‘GLK’ and will arrive in the European market in the second half of 2008 after its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

The Mercedes-GLK is based on the platform of the 2008 C-Class (much like the X3 is based on the 3-Series) and is expected to be powered by a 2.0 liter base model and will eventually have a 2.2-liter turbodiesel that produces 204 horsepower the following year.

Lucky people in mainland Europe, in Britain it will probably be around 39000 Euros with a 2.0 litre engine.
I based that on the fact the X3 2.0i starts at 25000 GBP and the Merc will probably be more money.

Suckers, and in the US it will probably start at about 30,000 US dollars and still not sell real well.

If MercBasher is correct about $30K then it goes on my shopping list as my wife wants a small SUV and that is about the staring price for most of the better small SUVs. However, I insist we get it here with the Bluetec engine that is in Europe's current Vision C220.

As with all Benzes it will come with a price here in the U.S. It'll probably be priced right in line with the C-Class.

Just above the C class estate, as the X3 is priced just over the 3 series touring.
