I’m not much on SUVs or MBs, but every time I see one of these GLA 250s I pause and look – very nice design! If we were in the market for a smaller SUV, the GLA would probably be the first thing I test drove.

Well, I haven’t yet seen a GLA 250 “in person,” svelte, but I think the *new* (2013 forward) Lexus RX350 F-Sport just screams “Look at me!”
And I think the design of the not-yet-released 2016 model is just incredible … extremely bold and attention getting.
The new or newer RX F Sport might be a little impractical for me but I am just in awe of its looks. A 4-Runner or Jeep GC is probably more practical for me (tires & suspension mostly) and are also very handsome. The newer 4Runner looks a lot like the (now discontinued) FJ Cruiser, but of course it is longer. The 4Runner is in the same price range as the RX (when outfitted with options to compare equally with Lexus std equipment) but I don’t know if that will still be the case in the 2016 model year. The Jeep GC is more expensive than the Lexus in the top 2 trims, I believe, but it definitely has more bells and whistles for mtn driving, gravel roads and trails.
In any case, I won’t be in the market until the last quarter of 2016 and may end up buying used (5+ yrs old).
