GLK: i'm not completely sold on this SUV as I would rather get the ML or GL classes. However it could definitely steel some customers from BMW.

CLC: i never completely understood why they brought this back. Wasn't a fan before and despite me liking the C-Class looks this is a misfit.

SLK: I've been a fan since the current generation came out. It was more aggressive and sporting than he previews one. The SLK320 was very quick and the SLK55 is still in my opinion one of the best sounding roadsters on the market.

GLK didn't really turn out to be the best looker, but I'm glad that it looks as if the designers put their heart into the designs. Just look at the attention to details...

CLC is obviously the old C-Class Coupe...looks okay from the front, while the rest are mediocre. But for the price, it's a nice car to have in the line-up - it would definitely help the sales.

SLK is very elegant, and its looks are amazingly timeless. You can save money with a 6-cylinder or go for the AMG's, and you don't have to worry about people judging you like a guy who owns VW's W12 GTI rather than a Lambo (yes, the W12 is only a concept).

All wonderful cars for the competition, but I'm a guy who would go for the S-class and nothing else x]

Who am I kidding...I'd take the new 7 over the S-class. Maybe it's just illusions or something that whenever I ride in my friend's S550 (US' long wheelbase), it feels smaller than my 730Li (previous generation; out of state). Despite the longer wheelbase that we see on paper, the front of the S-class is kind of a squeeze, especially if you moved the seats forward a bit to provide some room for the rear, which doesn't really help the rear seats as much as the 7.
I'm a guy that just likes large luxury cars with lots of ammenities, so I guess I'm sort of an outsider here.

For the last time, the CLC is a "gap filler" until the A- and B-Class Coupes hit the market. I don't understand why people keep tearing this car apart. Mercedes completely mentioned their intentions with this car. Nobody should be surprised and it isn't going to be sold in the US. Europeans aren't as sensitive as Americans (no offense).

GLK - cool, SLK - okay, CLC - a piece of junk not worthy of the "star" - Benz should be ashamed to build such a car.
