Scooped: 2008 Mercedes GLK / MLK

Time to take a break from all that auto-buzz in the Los Angeles Auto Show and see what�s going around in other parts of the world. Our �kit-kat� breaks takes us to Sweden and in particular to the Swedish edition of Auto Motor & Sport which posted an excellent chop of Mercedes�s upcoming compact SUV which will be called MLK or GLK. The �chop� was based on pics from the camouflaged prototype which seems to lean more to the GL-Class than to the ML-Class in terms of design.


From what we�ve gathered, the production version of the GLK � MLK (call it what you want) will make its public debut in the September Frankfurt Motor Show but don�t be surprised if we see a near-to-production concept at th
e upcoming Detroit Show. Although details are scarce, the GLK � MLK will probably be available with a vast range of petrol an diesel engines that�ll include the upgraded 4cylinder 1.8 K with 184 Hp (as well the 143 Hp version), the 204Hp 2.5 V6, the 231 Hp 3.0 V6, the 272 Hp 3.5 V6, the 150 / 170 Hp 2.2 CDI, 190 / 224 Hp 3/0 CDI. Sales are expected to start in Europe late 2007 and in the US early 2008. Via: Automotorsport.se
