Mercedes GLK at Detroit

By Guy Bird First Official Pictures 15 January 2008 21:28 When the pictures of Mercedes’ new small SUV concept were shown prior to Christmas, there were plenty of pained expressions in the CAR office.

Jaguar XF - or is it a Tesla? Tesla seem convinced – or at least they’re doing all they can to convince the public – that the Tesla Model S is a soon to be reality, despite all in the industry saying they can’t deliver what they are offering – a high-end, luxury, high-spec sports saloon with a 300 mile range – for the sort of money they claim.

But, having got to within a second of Button on the last lap, he crashed out – probably by trying a bit too hard.
