TrueDelta Reviews the Brand Reputation of the Mercedes-Benz GLK

| 2013 | The smaller the Mercedes, the more heavily it tends to trade on the three-pointed star. So the #1 reason to consider a GLK250 carries over from the GLK350 review (text from the previous review in italics): I don't personally put much stock in brands, with cars or anything else. But each time I have a Mercedes-Benz for a week the continuing power of the marque has been unavoidable. Audi and BMW now command similar prices, but haven't yet acquired the same mystique. They probably never will for people born before 1980. Until the final years of the twentieth century, Audis were largely ignored as troublesome, modestly upgraded VWs and BMW was mostly known for the compact, still semi-affordable 3-Series. Neither could hold a candle to the company that invented the mass-produced automobile and that has been strongly associated with large, top-shelf automobiles ever since. Gayla (the site's programmer, my wife) is not a car person. Her take on the GLK: "Of course it's a good car, it's a Mercedes." Some of my friends who are more into cars--and who own competing makes--similarly employ a different tone when asking about "the Mercedes." They could afford one, so why don't they own one? Partly because the brand's mystique cuts both ways. They're not interested in making such a strong status statement. Can even a compact crossover make a strong status statement? Mercedes-Benz has done its best to make this so--check out the size of the three-pointed star on the GLK's grille. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review | |

Remains one of the best luxury values around with cache. You get a lot when you get an RX, but give up only a little bit of handling and gas mileage. Why would anyone want to buy a highlander instead of this??? see full Lexus RX review |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD |
Lexus is rated No.1 for quality, fewest defects and highest owner satisfaction every year. I believe they have been voted No.1 for twelve years in a row. see full Lexus RX review |
