Mixed Messager: Sorting through the multiple personalities of the newest Baby Benz.


It can get 30-plus mpg or dash to 60 mph in 6.5 sec. Its Agility Control suspension corners racetrack flat, yet its undercarriage can be armored for ramming over rough stuff. It's targeted at Sex-in-the-City women, but it wears sharp, angular styling that apes the butch GL-class. Does this fuel-crisis trucklet suffer multiple-personality disorder?

The more I see of the GLK the more I like. I just can't understand how the ML is supposed to compete. The GLK looks pricier. The ML facelift should have been more.

I agree. I said this months ago when they first showed the first GLK concepts. Get ready for a big drop in ML sales I'd say.

over 30 mpg in the 350? I find that doubtful and highly suspect.


**Haha just kidding, just read the article**

I think the statement was worded poorly. It says:

Quote:
It can get 30-plus mpg or dash to 60 mph in 6.5 sec
It should say, It can get 30-plus mpg (in the diesel) or dash to 60 mph in 6.5 sec (in the 350 gas.)

I thought the same thing when I first read the entire article. Apparently journalism school isn't a requirement.
