Thus, MB is saying that this upcoming SUV/crossover is a GL Kompact. Which makes sense. Whatever the name, it's still darn ugly. Not to mention it's pointless. No thanks.

But here's what I mean. The only difference in the name of their biggest SUV and their smallest SUV is the K. When I first read "Mercedes to use GLK name for small SUV" I thought that they meant they were going to stop making the big SUV and use the GLK name for the small one instead. Then I went to their website cuz it just didn't make sense and found out that the big one is called the GL. That's a HUGE difference and the name is almost exactly the same thing! Oops… pressed submit by accident.

Secondly, and WAY more importantly, Mercedes should stop making so many different letter and number combinations. If they're gonna have what.. like 50 somewhat models, they should use names that are easier to memorize. Jeez! Well, first off, of course this is subjective, but I think it’s kinda ugly.

I could care less though. These companies need to focus on their reliability problems instead of releasing 4 completely new models a year though. Looks alright I’m not surprised.
