![]() | Re: Mercedes-Benz Vision GLK FREESIDE Concept @ 2008 NAIAS The concept looks so kitsche because of the detailing. The production vehicle on the Sex and the City set was far more attractive. It at least showed some design restraint. This looks vulgar. The interior is most definitely inspired by Range Rover, but with quite a dose of the new C in there for good measure. I wonder how it will translate into a production interior and how much of the wow (again kitsche) factor will be lost. Like the exterior I feel the interior of the concept is a bit over the top and will actually be better in the production version. With the interiors of the new CLK and E, I hope they bridge the design gap between the S and CL set and now this GLK and C set to bring some consistency to the range. The disparity is astounding, even if the interior designs have been heavily influenced by market demographics. |

![]() ![]() | Re: Mercedes-Benz Vision GLK FREESIDE Concept @ 2008 NAIAS Looks much much better than a X3.With proper detailing this SUV will look really good,the one captured in the S&C sets was too plain Jane.IMO a different color cladding is very very important for this vehicle to look good.
