Awesome interior.

Still not fond of the exterior metal though.

Here're some more photo's.
I wonder how long it will take until Mercedes will start using LED technology in their cars' headlights.

I like this car. It has a nice, clean shape which is traditionally Mercedes yet reasonably modern. Those concept wheels are rather horrid, though.

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.

Darn! ... This looks awesome. Get rid of those ugly rims ASAP before unveiling.
Looks much better without those thickies. The lines flow very nicely from this angle.

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.

Well the Sex and the City one is the production version, which for obvious reasons is more plain than this concept. Should still be a striking SUV.

I wonder if they will offer an option for lights on the roof rack as an option that would be pretty neato.

Gone for production will be the rims, two toned exterior, white interior, and zebra wood, and led fogs.
