Mercedes GLK

Never seen one on the road in the UK, but a bit more popular on the continent where I've seen a handful.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_GLK-Cl...

Anyone else seeing a lot of Subaru Forester in that?

They were LHD only. Very popular in Sweden, not so sure about the rest of Europe.

I've only just discovered today that you can buy a brand new LDV Van! I thought they'd died out a long time ago! Looks like they're planning new vans too...

For the princely sum of £12995+VAT...

They died a long time ago, but the IP rights and tooling ended up in China (via Malaysia I think) and they're now being built again.

Given the Maxus was designed in the late 90s and when launched it was already rubbish compared to the competition I imagine this one will be pretty horrid.

You can pick up a traffic or Vivaro for £11k, sure it'll be a base one but it'll be a whole heap better than that thing.

Had a trip through Belgium/NL/Denmark/Germany/France last year, they are everywhere. Looks like in the US too. Odd but quite like it somehow.

Looks n ice but diesel powered sports car no thanks leave that to the germans.

Have to say I usually find this thread amusing. When someone posts a picture of a Tesla model X saying they had no idea such a thing existed...
My hubris came back to haunt me though as this passed me by completely.



Basically the new passat cc. Looks pretty nice.

Blimey! I didn't realise they'd sold any. That car has been around in one guise or another for years and years without ever seeming to make production.

Not sure any technically have been bought in White since it isn't on sale yet!

This 'spot' was only about 15 miles from the factory, so it may well have been an employee in a demonstrator/test-mule car.

Ah OK. Are they still on what used to be RAF Sculthorpe?

Apparantly you only service it every 100,000 miles or 12 months....

[Frimley111R]

Unfortunately they seem to have missed the (non-event of) high performance diesel cars, with hybrids being the future now.

[talksthetorque]

Currently in Tuscany and just seen this.....
The Great Wall Hover 5.

And no, I think it still uses wheels

[Stickyfinger]

A little small, but some rare cars

The only reason I know what this is, is because a friend of mine works for them, pretty sweet car.

[Dazed and Confused]

Had this yet?

Infiniti Q60. RWD or AWD, start at a bit over £30k. Another 10 grand for 3.0 V6 Twin Turbo with 405bhp. Not bad.

My parents used to have a blue 33 back in the early seventies. K plate IIRC.
