This is the vehicle that a MB owner hubby buys for his wife. Small, easy to drive and park, high driving position with the MB star on the grill. I don't believe I have seen one on the road yet with a male driver.
Lots of truth in that, I think. I see a lot of these in the moneyed areas. Yet I find it odd, as it has squarish, almost utilitarian styling that you would not think would appeal to the ladies who lunch. Yet apparently it does.
But $51K as tested and no available real leather seats!?
I just priced out a '11 BMW X3 with similar options but with the 300 hp engine, for only $1K more. Plus it has a longer wheel base, an 8 speed auto transmission and 27.6 cu ft of cargo space with the seats up!
Has the X3 ever gotten a good review though?
Clearly I don't understand this category, as none of these sort of vehicles make any sense to me. I keep thinking of the Bronco II and why anyone would want one.
