Did it come out again or was it all swept under the carpet?

All that salt and MB bodywork....not a good mix!

Actually the shape is growing on me depending on the angle of view.

Hmm that was my first thought

Looks better under ground than on top !

Like the shape as well but not as spacious as I expected it thus ordering a B class. If rumours are true the next GLK will be available as RHD and that should be a better balance overall

Can't see how that has proven anything. Are they leaving it down there to see how long it takes to crumble into rust?

Actually, a salt mine is the best place to avoid rust. That's because salt is hygroscopic - i.e. It attracts water, making the air extremely dry. Strange, but true. You only have to see the old plant they use down the salt mines - very little rust.
