It isn't often that we describe a Mercedes-Benz vehicle as a "steal."
Mercedes-Benz products frequently offer good value, especially when one
factors resale into the equation, but a below-market,
almost-too-good-to-be-true purchase? No, not really. But now we have
driven the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 BlueTEC, a vehicle we think
legitimately deserves that kind of description. While many consumers
have been willing to spend premium prices to obtain the longevity,
range and fuel economy of a diesel engine, Mercedes-Benz is essentially
throwing all those advantages in for free. But those features are just
the beginning of the story. The new engine also features an innovative
two-stage turbocharger system that uses a small high-pressure
turbocharger and a large low-pressure turbocharger that are connected
in series. What we felt on the road was high torque, even relatively
low in the rev range, virtually no hint of turbo lag and quick throttle
response. In fact, we figure if we put most upscale empty-nesters
behind the wheel of the GLK250 BlueTEC, they wouldn't detect that the
sprightly little crossover was powered by a diesel. Instead, they would
simply appreciate the GLK BlueTEC's broad torque curve that makes it an
easy-going partner for both around-town excursions and long-distance
cruising. Those who might wonder about the environmental effects of
driving a diesel can rest assured that the state-of-the-art "clean
diesel" engine in the GLK250 BlueTEC meets the exhaust emission
regulations of all 50 states. This means it is as "clean" as a current
gasoline-fueled engine thanks to the use of AdBlue injection, a
water-based urea solution that helps convert smog-causing nitrous
oxides into nitrogen and water. The AdBlue tank need to be refilled
according to routine vehicle maintenance schedules. The bottom line on
the new GLK250 BlueTEC 4MATIC is extra value.

There are those who breathlessly dissect numbers, narrow the focus, or
decide to revisit the same old models when contemplating what they
believe to be the best car (or cars) of the year. That鈥檚 not us.
Instead, during our annual All-Stars event, we set out to simply tell
you which vehicles left us breathless and why. Throughout each year,
we鈥檙e constantly evaluating the best in breed. Everything from
mainstream models to the world鈥檚 most mind-blowing supercars can get
the nod to join the All-Stars fray, and just being asked to be a part
of the field is an accomplishment. This isn鈥檛 an all-inclusive group,
but it鈥檚 a wildly diverse one, meant to represent the most
aspirational, attainable, and otherwise exceptional offerings of the
past calendar year. Although we try to secure for our evaluation an
example of everything we think has All-Stars potential, it鈥檚 not
always possible. Sometimes an automaker won鈥檛 let a car out to play
(hello, Tesla Model 3) or timing can interfere (we鈥檒l see you next
year, BMW Z4 and 8 Series). The ones that do show up are subjected to
several days of driving, on track and off.

W鈥檈鈥檙e no stranger to the Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, as we鈥檝e
caught it testing out and about on multiple occasions, but its drop-top
cousin appears to be more camera-shy disguising itself with a fake
hard-top roof. The convertible C-Class doesn鈥檛 even appear to be a
Benz from the front, as the honeycomb grille looks nothing like the
redesigned car鈥檚 two-bar grille design. We expect the mesh grille is
meant to throw us off, just like the fake hard top roof, which will
likely give way to a conventional soft top like the one found on the
E-Class convertible. While the body cladding makes the convertible look
different from the sedan, expect the drop-top to largely resemble its
fixed-roof cousin. The sedan鈥檚 new design language borrows heavily
from the redesigned E- and S-Class, but also takes cues from the CLA.
The convertible also retains the sedan鈥檚 profile as you can see from
its long hood and short, truncated rear. To distance itself from the
upcoming CLA-Class four-door, the C-Class is moving upmarket and will
offer convertible, wagon, and coupe body styles in addition to the
sedan. The lineup will include a wide range of engines, including a
turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4 and a 2.1-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel,
which will likely be the same mill found in the GLK250. Also in the
works are hybrid and all-wheel-drive models.
