In late March, Leftlane reported that Mercedes had registered the name GLK-Class with the U.S. patent and trademark office. This suggested the German automaker would use the GLK name for its compact SUV, instead of the much-rumored MLK nameplate. While it took a while for the mainstream media to catch on to this notion, Germany’s Autobild is now reporting that Mercedes has decided to use the GLK moniker over MLK-Class or X-Class. The magazine also claims Mercedes has picked a relatively boxy design for the vehicle, with an upright D-pillar to best maximize interior space. The first models will be available in late 2008, including the GLK 220 CDI, GLK 280 GLK, GLK 320 CDI 4Matic and GLK 350 4Matic. [Front View | Rear View]
