Any other SatC character would be better in that respect.

Or MB is really marketing this vehicle as a perfect well-off-housewife / aged-lady-of-certain-status-mobile?

C'mon ... even VW engaged a looker like Heidi Clum for the Tiguan promotion.

I guess Zetche has some specific fetish for Kim Cattrall.
Yeah I'm surprised they choose the most slutty one but it's understandable. Sarah Jessica Parker is probably a whole lot more expensive while the others ones in the gang are boring making Kim the obvious choice. Her character in the tv-series is highly promiscuous, women love that and so do guys as well

Sure there are more attractive women out there which Mercedes could have chosen but Hedi Klum has got nothing on the Sex and the City gang. These women are worshiped by millions of women, people really look up to them, their fan base is immense. You should have seen the movie premier here in London on Monday, it was mayhem.

Most importantly their fan base mostly consist of women in the late 20s to 45 years of age, and those the the type of people who can afford a GLK. So it all falls into place if you look at it from a marketing perspective. Hedi Klum nor any other women attract this demographic like the they do.

Amazing photographs on that blog. The car is design hit much more so than the C-class. It looks classy, has character and is a stunner in white or blue. The design is perfect for this segment.

I wouldn't say it looks much better than C class (C class paved the way for GLK and E when it comes out) it's just you can't compare GLK to any previous models because there where none. It's a hit among premium entry SUV's and I would take it over X3 or Q5 any day.

Re: Official Mercedes-Benz GLK - 07-16-2008, 10:14 AM

Reading about the GLK and its design (even in other threads) from other members, its very amusing. Its like GLK this and GLK that... Not sure, maybe some people where expecting some kinda baby Maybach ute, in a 30Gs mini SUV, lol . With the GLK, it is what it is. And for Mercedes it represents a good looking and very capable mini ute. When u think of RAVs and CRVs and other small 4 X 4s in the class it belongs its even more commendable. It is [probably] best in class. And quite a 'proper' design. Most have not even seen it in the metal. GLK rubbish? Please

NB: It even has a new name now. Apparently its now the GLK/sex and the city class. LOL Whatever that means
