Of course we won't get it here, but a sedan will be offered with the same drivetrain.

It even looks like a Subaru. It's just for people who want a fun, safe (more powerful) Subie but with the smarmy "I drive a Mercedes" badge haha

I like it, and now maybe the douche-bag STi owners will just move on over to the MB world with the rest of the douches...

Yes, leave the performance Subies, and all of them really, for the people who actually appreciate them and don't want them just because they're "cool". Brah.

50k no thanks

Galager · 12-04-2012, 07:07 AM

And 40k for a Subaru (loaded sti) is ok?

MudRunner · 12-04-2012, 08:11 AM

^agreed... Subaru's price sheet for an STI with that much oomph and options would at least be 50k

Give the GLK that treatment and maybe I'll have a reason to upgrade from the Fozz one day.

I don't care what anyone says, just powerplant alone in this car sounds awesome. Twinscroll turbo at 26 psi, forged internals, air to water IC. A 7 spd dual clutch tranny... You'd have to spend a lot of money to do something similar and this comes with a factory warranty.

I'm sure this car will run 60K or so though...
