2013 GLK diesel

2013 MB will debut a GLK with a 2.1 liter diesel that will have 190 hp and 369 lb of torque. Sweeeet. Nice to see some small diesels come back to the US. May be it will find it;'s way into the C class.

I've been talking (*****ing perhaps) with MBUSA officials for years to bring over that little 2.1 turbo diesel. Can't wait to test drive one!

True but there are plans to slot it into the C-Class as well.

I still maintain that the 2.1 is a better match for the GLK then the current V6

Put it in the C-Class, back it with a five or six speed manual, and get the mass under 1500 kg, and I'll be very interested. Until then...yawn.
