Mercedes looked at a Subi Forester SF/SG and recognized the genius design of a boxy, square body shape, low waist, high roof, mild SUV with very large window panes, which actually allow the driver to see all the spots where the car ends and so on without the need of cameras, range detectors and crystal balls
It shares many parts with the "C" platform (C220 etc) so it should also share the mechanical strengths and weaknesses. In general, Mercedes from the noughties do not have the best reputation for durability, reliability of electronics, and rust; Since the GLX was introduced quite late in that decade, many of the initial bugs will have been mitigated, i guess
