Right ...

Just like you've said ... small SAVs are primarily driven by female drivers. And such cars are aimed at such population.

While male drivers prefer larger SAVs ... especially in Europe.
Women drive the large SUVs as well, I see countless of female faces behind the wheel of cars like the X5, Cayenne and Range Rover.

The SUV segment has reached the level of saturation, especially in the US where there are close to 20-30 SUV on the market. In stead of developing "just another SUV" MB did the right thing by distinguishing the GLK from the rest with a unique and bold design. I can picture people calling the GLK "boxy baby Benz". Very eye catching car with character and is bound to be put to people's memory.
