Daimler Chrysler ’s Mercedes-Benz has registered a trademark in Germany for the letters ‘GLC.’ It’s unclear what the name might be used for, but a “C” typically signifies a “coupe” in Mercedes nomenclature. Could the GLC-Class be the latest addition to the emerging Sport Activity Coupe segment?

BMW is known to be working on a crossover-coupe vehicle called the X6, and rumors began circulating last week about a similar offering from Audi called the Q6. So far, the only Sport Activity Coupe previewed by a mainstream automaker is the Volkswagen Concept A (pictured). The Concept A, however, is not expected to lead directly to a production vehicle. Instead, it was designed to preview the design language of the forthcoming Tiguan crossover.
