Autocar is reporting Daimler plans to debut a new compact SUV they're dubbing the Mercedes Benz BLK. With new trucklet slotting underneath the already small-sized Mercedes GLK, things may be getting into pointless utility vehicle territory here. The BLK would be based on the next generation of the A/B class chassis and get a selection of four-cylinder direct-injection engines in the 1.6- to 2.2-liter range. We're kind of wondering if the high-performance model will follow Benz's recent naming trend and be called the BLK Black. [Autocar via Autoblog]
