THE BEST SELLING SMALL LUXURY SUV REMAINS THE MERCEDES GLK

Within the last few days The Good Car Guy announced the Mercedes-Benz GLK350 as one of GoodCarBadCar.net’s 100 Favourite Cars of all time. This comes almost a year after the Audi Q5 made it into the first ever Good 12 Supersize; something the Benz couldn’t do.

The explanation? Complicated. Sufficient this explanation must be: the Q5 is the small luxury SUV we should choose; the GLK is the small luxury SUV we do choose. The Sales Stats from August bear out this truth. As do the figures from America’s Sales Stats in September seen below.
