I still see VW Tourags coming off road though…..there a different type of luxury 4×4 i guess!

I doubt the Allroad would be able to go off road as it was more of a AWD Performance Wagon.. with rather low clearance

Having said that I doubt many owners of Q7s X5s RX330s or whatever; would take their cars off-road.

The nearest these cars would get to off-road is the car park at the local school or shopping centre.. [often taking up 2 spaces]

As BM says theyre just wagons with lift kits..
Jacked up [a bit like their owners]

Not sure on the X3 but the X5 is better than the Merc equivalent!

Not that I would have any of them!Not because there made in the US……..but cause there just wagons with lift kits to me!

Too True Duck I also like BMWs AWD Sports Concept – Similar to a Cayenne but way better looking

However in terms of Prestige/Performance Cross-overs I’d Prefer the Audi All-Road Wagon

Wheelnut,
Will this be a first good 4×4 from Mercedes-Benz? ( Because ML and GL Class arent as good 4×4 as BMW’s X3 & X5)

Duck the GLK is the same size as the Kluger or Forester.

Infact if you look at it; it looks like a rather a good combination of the two.. Klugers headlights; Foresters Flared Guards etc.

The only difference is it will probably have better Quality Fit and Finish because its German.

Who in this world would want a 6.8 litre 4 x 4 apart from someone who happens to own an oil field! and can afford it.

Don’t go much on the exterior but the dash console sure looks neat.

Nice bit of expensive bling for some, especially with the Detroit rims.
If these images had appeared minus the 3 pointed star could u pic it for a Merc from the upcoming next gen Koreans?
