2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 BlueTec 4Matic Driven - Automobile Magazine
Frugal, but still plenty fast.

After a lunch of bruschetta, pizza, and gelato, which is an ironic way to fuel up for testing a German car, Mercedes-Benz product manager Bart Herring gets straight to boasting. "No one is better positioned to bring diesel models to the market," he says. "Diesel is very well suited to what people want." Even setting aside Herring's praise, the new 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 BlueTec 4Matic is clearly something unique. Not only is it America's only diesel compact crossover, it also handily tops its segment in fuel economy.

2013 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG - Editors' Notebook
Nobody needs this vehicle, and that's the point.

The G63 and its lesser-powered sibling, the G550, have neither the room nor the utility nor the efficiency nor the refinement nor the modernity of their GL-class siblings, but they have several things that the GL-class doesn't have, including character, provenance, and three locking differentials. If you've got the dough and the desire, I say, indulge yourself, but you might also want something a little more anodyne in your garage for driving excursions that require a bit more subtlety.
