Excuse me? Your GLK goes HOW fast?

Plus if you had taken the time to actually read my first post in this thread you would have noticed that I very carefully stated that the GLK is "very possibly" the ugliest SUV on sale. Contrary to your false representation of my statement I did not insinuate this to be an absolute truth.

Does it do 200 MPH?

Well, no. That would scare the hell out of me in the vehicle.

Not a bad vehicle. I just feel like its a rip-off that's all.
To me, its basically a C-class with a raised suspension.
The interiors are identical.

But the X6 on the other hand... oh boy

Prefer it over the current X5 for sure! 5.0 model that is.

For $580k, who ends up buying this thing? Actually, who buys all these Brabus creations? I assume all their cars would be like the V12 AMG cars, you can barely get on them without the ESP going crazy. And you can only use them in a straight line.

As for the X6


The new 5 series GT or whatever


And finally the GLK

Yeah, these over the top Brabus creations can't sell more than a small handful of units. However, I look at it like runway clothing, no one actually wears it, but it inspires the consumer friendly line. Of course no one needs a 200mph GLK, but one with a bit of performance kick and a nice body kit and wheels, is much more acceptable to a larger audience.
