There are certain vehicle that we can tell in one glimpse that they are ordinary and not the greatest car that we would love to be viewed driving inside of. But there are other cars that give out an air of magnificence and the instant you glimpse at it you understand it is the car of your dreams. One of these cars is the brand Mercedes-Benz GLK 350.

This is the very first superior compact crossover SUV that Mercedes-Benz has ever made. Though the GLK 350 might be a bit more solid than what we are used to seeing from them it does not disappoint us. The platform for this car was built on the classic C-class sedan.

So why did Mercedes decide to make an SUV? "We needed a car like the GLK 350," sales representative Mark Leonard said. "It's designed to go head-to-head with the BMW X3 and it is doing a fantastic job."

The SUV was first debuted earlier in the year and is predetermined to be a 2010 model version. It has already pulled in a lot of media attention due to its peculiar design and the starting price that Mercedes-Benz has set for it. Some people were waiting to see a high number - but were stunned when the automaker set it at a low $33,900. This will most definitely be in the running for the low-cost SUV on the market and may have the ability to overpass the X3 in price alone.

The GLK is equipped with a 3.5 liter V6 engine and joined with a seven speed automatic transmission. The two work together to allow for a smooth but powerful drive. It is simpler then ever to speed up the car and it is able to touch 60 MPH in only 6.9 seconds.
