Default New Benz GLK Freeside looks familiar

Photos of the new Mercedes GLK Freestyle reveal Crossfire like styling details. The side of the SUV has the Crossfire's indentation that begins just behind the front wheel ( sorry for lack of a better description ).

Well they liked the Crossfire enough to copy that.....Hope they didn't copy the cup holder..

Somehow if they had used the design on a SL 500, I would be more enthused. Placing it on a SUV is sort of bottom of the barrel in my mind.

In overall silhouette it looks more like a Subaru Forrester.

Albeit with a Crossfire side cutout.

speaking of copycat...as you all probably know already, and annoyed me personally...the new Sebring convertible sports the front hood cuts and sidelines of the Crossfire. Chrysler is a grave robber.

Maybe they're using up all those unbuilt crossfire parts.
