I don't understand what you are saying here Marcus ....are you suggesting the white and silver one actually has any credibility beyond Rodeo Drive?

No I was just saying that what you said was quite funny. No that with and silver one won't ever see any type of drive thankfully. Just a concept to wind up at the museum in Germany.

And, read, I have stated they all come dead last, I won't choose one over the other because neither deserve to be choosen as better designed then the other!!!

The new X3 needs to step up the level of this segment - It's rubbish at the moment
So no answer then. OK

I think we're both getting mixed up here. I was saying that your joke about it being a glorified shopping cart was funny.

^ Oh OK ....I couldn't work out why you were so amused (still can't actually ) ...I thought you were commenting on my preference for the 'Townside' model.

Makes sense now

not really ...the GLK is much more about image than substance ....so styling is the key here. The total garbage in the press release about it somehow relating to the G class makes a mockery of MB's heritage.
