Another story making the rounds yesterday was a new batch of spy photos depicting upcoming small SUV, the GLK-Class, testing on the Nurburgring alongside the BMW X3.  As you'll see in the photo, the GLK matches up pretty closely in terms of size with the BMW, and in likelihood will match pretty closely in terms of performance as well.

Aside from the photos, there's really nothing more to reveal that you haven't already heard.  It's based on the same platform as the new C-Class; it's expected to use the same 3.5-Liter V6 paired with Mercedes' seven-speed transmission featured in the C; and of course, it features 4MATIC four-wheel drive technology.

As always, we'll keep you posted if we hear anything new; in the meantime, head over to Edmund's Straight Line blog for a couple additional photos.

And to peej: thanks for the tip my good sir, we sincerely appreciate it.
