    New Mercedes GLK?

    I'm not too sure whether there's a forum on this already (apologies if there is) but I'll post it anyway. This is the new Mercedes GLK that I'm talking about:
    http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...lvr/images.jpg (apologies if it doesn't turn up)

    It will have a 3.5 litre V6 (first it will be in the SL and SLK, then the GLK and the E Class and CLS), with 215kW (around about 280hp over in Europe, I'm an Australian you see), two diesel engines and a 2.2 litre petrol four cylinder. It will be in LEFT HAND DRIVE ONLY. Mercedes says this is because of the Benz's 4Matic transmission. The car will also have economy improvements by up to 10%.

    There will be more news up until it arrives in the first quarter of the year (around February most likely). It was derieved from a Smart Concept called the ForMore.

    I think it's derived from a C-class platform rather than the Smart Forfour.

    (Unless you are talking about the design and not the mechanicals)
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.
    Visca Catalunya!

    Yeah, you're right. Smart scrapped it to focus on the ForTwo. I'm not too sure if the mechanicals of a 100hp engine would work in a soft roader... All I can say is it's not going to Britain, Australia and all those other RHD countries, as I mentioned in this article.

    It definitly is.
    Will be build in the same factory as C, CLK, SL and SLK. And won't be derived from one of the last 2 classes for sure.

    Well, if you guys know more about the platform than me I won't fight the fact. I'm pretty sure that it would be a pretty decent thing anyway.
