What car is this?

[dba3087108]

Saw this yesterday. Unsure what it is. MOT says mercedes G.

Left hand drive


Edit. Just checked Google image and it's a glk.
Don't think they were released in the UK

Wow that's pretty gopping... I guess slightly longer and in black it would make a good hearse.

Quick read up suggests it was never sold in RHD markets due to the driveshaft on 4WD versions needing the same space as the steering column would require.

[RedWhiteMonkey]

Yeah, Mercedes GLK. They sold them over here in Germany for a few years (early to mid 2010s) but it never seemed that popular.

It's like a really bad Chinese ripoff of a Merc mumtruck.

I think that looks alright.

I'll get my coat

I also like it. It's so crap it kind of looka good. And nice to be driving something unique

I went to New York in 2019 and I remember these things being all over the place. Certainly got a 'wait what is that' the first time I saw one.

Not making it in RHD eliminates a massive Worldwide market.
They should have thought of that in the design stage.

35% of the Worlds population are missing out.

These were based on the W204 C-Class (and their internal code name was X204)

Surprised Mercedes didn't make a little more effort to make it work for RHD given the popularity of that size of SUV in this country. Still, I suppose it was otherwise an opportunity to convince people to buy an ML instead!

I've also just found out that there was a plan to make a smart on this platform (C-Class/GLK) called the "ForMore". It looked as hideous as you would expect

I thought that was a Hyundai Terracan with a MB badge stuck on the front.

Makes a Yeti seem like a handsome thing…

I saw one of these years ago and thought it was pig ugly then.

This hasn't changed my mind
