50,000, is too expensive for a car like that..I can get a Sequoia for less money and the I won't see to much diference in the millage. The only thing that I can say in favor of this box is that it is a very secure car but it is so ugly as the X1 or X3.

Nobody shops between a GLK and a Sequoia.

I wish I could see what the hell this car was optioned with. Almost double the price in options?!?

There are links to the GLK specs at the top and end of the article. The specs table lists the options and charges that were installed with the car. I agree - the GLK is damn pricey when fully optioned.

Hard to digest, even as a Merc fan.

Is it just me, or do the huge rims on this car look ridiculous? They look too big for this kind of car. Very aftermarket-ish.
