I can't believe there are people in this thread that actually think the GLK looks good. The GLK is the ugliest piece of crap on the streets. The interior is even worse, cheap as hell.

The GLK looks great from the front and side, but from the back it looks like a jacked up station wagon to me. I like wagons, but it just doesn't look right IMO...

As for the headlights, the AW truck is so base that it doesn't even have HID's. If your talking about the missing LED turn indicators, look for them at LCI.

Good luck with that, you'll be saving your money for quite some time, no "v6 3.0 X5"s have ever been produced, ever...

The third window looks kind of weird to me. It looks cut off at the d-pillar. I like the look of the black one, the white one not so much... I think a lot will depend on color and what you think of it.

It looks like the black one has LED angel eyes unless I am mistaken. Any one else notice that?

I hope the US does not get the amber reflectors. I think the headlights fit the vehicle. It's just an extension from the previous generation.

The interior is horrible looking. I looked at one and couldn't even bear it. The outside is what makes the GLK. But what do you look at when you're driving everyday though?

Yeah the LED angel eyes are a must if this is the final headlight design. In fact I hate to see any BMW on the road without Xenons, it makes them look cheap. I go a step further and say BMW should make them standard and just factor in cost.

Why is it the official photos and videos look so much better than these real life pics?

The GLK actually looks good. The x3 is terrible. Looks like it came from 1990.

How are they not BMW headlights? They actually look like a raked version of the E36 headlights, and that car is about BMW as you can get.

WOW! Those X3s are really ugly. I am not sure what BMW is thinking?!?!

The overall proportions, character line to nowhere, the headlight chrome and the crossbars visible through the kidney grill are all problems.

Aack!

Seriously, what is BMW thinking? The design is beyond awkward, there is no part of this car that I can rest my eye on without struggling to make sense of it. And this is a case where "boldness and progress through difficult and uncomfortable design" is...really not. This is just plain ugly.

Now...that's better.

I honestly dont get the appeal of ANY audi, and that goes doubly for the q5, which looks like a 1st gen Hyundai Tucson. I dont like any punk-sized suv, but if a gun were held to my head and I HAD to buy one, I'd pick the X looooooong before that q5 thing.

boring headlights, car looks very very average and uninspiring. The old X3 was so ugly that this is easily better and looks like junior X5 but X5 is a cool looking car. This is blah.

I like the new X3.

The Q5 does look great, but, I can't understand why Audi can't make a car that isn't a piece of fuckin' shit.

The only BMW that looks goodISH nowadays are the 5 series and the Z. An when BMW went and simple just say EFF IT imma chop the hood line across the top..that pretty much ruins it for me. Its like a girl with a scar from ear to mouth...but without the scar she would be pretty.

Benz, jaguar, audi are doing a better job.

I would still take GLK over this anytime regardless of its performance.
Most of the people are not buying this 'little SUV' for the performance, they usually buy it because they need SUV like drivability and cargo space, but cannot afford X5. Small SUV is full of oxymoron to begin with.

Anyways, this crappy looking (probably overpriced as well) car is going to be RARE again.
