Mercedes-Benz All-New 2008 C-Class wins the 2008 AJAC Award for Best New Luxury Car

Mercedes GLK: still no right-hand drive

In a rapidly expanding segment containing many new compact SUVs styled to disguise their bulk, the GLK, which is about 25cm shorter than the full-sized M-class, has almost Jeep-like styling, with prominent, squared wheelarches and generally aggressive lines.
