No wagon? As always, the US auto market gets the scraps, leftovers, and turds. The average American auto buyer should be painlessly put to sleep.

Supply and demand. No demand .... no supply

I think with MBUSA it's also their image they like to keep up. They are very careful not to cheapen the brand to much.

I think that if demand for a diesel wagon were that great, we would see a proliferation of VW TDi wagons. Instead, I have seen 2.

As I recall, isn't the GLK built on the C chassis anyway? Basically a wagon anyways just with more space.

GLK = a fake little trucklet for insecure little soccer moooooomies who are too afraid to be seen in a wagon, since their mom drove one in the 80s. Worse MPG: check. Taller/worse handling: check. What redeeming traits does the thing have, other than making dumb bints and femme guys look butch?

If more normal wagons were actually available in this country, I'd have much less of a problem with the tall wagons whored out to look like trucks.

This little fwd puddle jumper is under $30,000 msrp and is designed for "conquest" buyers in their early 20s who could be lured into one for a lease payment of under $300 a month, and likely will be undermaintained, and probably discarded at the end of the lease... The huge grille star was once - up to about 1991 - reserved solely for the top of the line 560SEC and 560SL cars. Now it's seen a,l over the model ine -- on the CLA, C class and even their mini vans and SUVs. The cars now are built to a price point, and NOT first designed and engineered to a cost no object standard. Not only has the brand name been cheapened by touting affordability over all else,QC and build quality has suffered and will continue to do so if this path is followed.

I had a 2012 one as a Mercedes Benz dealer loaner last year for a while. I couldn't stand it.
