I recently drove a Mercedes-Benz ML350 with the COMAND system and it was a pain to use. Have they changed it in the GLK?

The last-generation COMAND system was about as intuitive as piloting a Cosmonaut moon lander. The Mercedes GLK comes standard with the next-generation COMAND system which includes a BMW iDrive-like controller wheel behind the shifter. This makes for a huge leap forward in usability, though we'll continue to use Acura as the benchmark for how systems should intuitively function. In case you were curious, "COMAND" stands for COckpit MAnagement and Navigation Device.
