Business Week have published their review of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 SUV. 'The GLK is about the same size and weight as the BMW (BMWG.DE) X3, an aging model that's now being challenged by both Mercedes and Volkswagen's (VOWG.DE) Audi unit (with its new Q5). In this Deutsche dustup, the GLK350 is a strong competitor that I prefer to the X3 and that matches up well against the new Q5. However, there are other attractive alternatives at a lower price, notably the RDX from Honda's (HMC) Acura division and the Volvo XC60. That said, the GLK's diminutive size, incredibly smooth ride, and classy, comfortable cabin make it an absolute joy in day-to-day driving. A peppy 3.5-liter, 268-horsepower V6 makes the GLK more than quick enough for most SUV owners. Plus, the GLK's base price is relatively low, starting at $35,475 with rear-wheel drive and $37,475 with all-wheel drive.'
