Aside from adding yet another word to it's name — it's now known as either the 2009 Mercedes-Benz GLK Vision 320 CTDi Bluetec Freeside Concept, or the 2009 Mercedes-Benz GLK Vision 320 CTDi Blutec Townside Concept, the latter loses off-road pretensions — the most notable thing to occur at this second official unveiling was the creepy flirting taking place between Dr. Z and Kim Catrall. Seriously, after watching Kim speak of her "admiration" of Dr. Z's "tight package" we had to put up with his promise to "show her around afterwards." Trust us, it sounds creepier in Gerglish. We had to leave when Dr. Z promised to "heat it up in here." If Ray wasn't such a slave driver, we'd be well on our way back to the hotel to take a scalding hot shower.

Yuck. For so many reasons. Just yuck.
Are you trying to imply that Dr. Z is not sexy?
EWWWWW, that is so creepy
Just be glad they didn't book Bea Arthur for that gig.
Saw Dr. Z's handlers push Rod Meloni from Channel 4 right out of the way after the vehicle intro....he's got a hard-on for Kimmy alright.
So, I assume Kim Catrall got pimped out to Diamler-Benz in a tit-for-tat for "Sex and the City" to use the GLK in their movie. I recall Ms. Priddy's crew spotted one on location in Beverly Hills as Kim's character's wheels.
That thing so ugly there should be a court injunction to cease and desist production! It looks like a Bizarro World version of crap! Somebody check the paint for lead levels! Maybe we can find a loop hole and get an import embargo!?
Bad Mercedes! Somebody rub their nose in this pile!
@apexpredator: I think its quite handsome.
That is quite unsettling. Of course it may have been done with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
Here, that looks like a Gelandewagen in the background. They must still be making them. Cool.
My GOD, Dr. Z is the modern day Roger Smith. This guy ran Chrysler into the ground with awful product and vile marketing and now he is doing the same to one of the world's most storied brands. Remember this day, as we are witnessing the utter destruction of Mercedes Benz as a coveted luxury brand. Ghastly product combined with insipid and repulsive marketing - I think I am going to throw up.
whatever happened to
hairy legged mullet-wearing Lesbos drivin subarus?
oops, this is the mercedes ... i thought it was the subaru forester
my bad...
@Charles_Barrett: Thing is, the GLK seems too down-market of a Benz for Catrall's "Sex and the City" character Samantha. She's at least an E-Class, if not an S- or CL-Class wage-earner, and if she MUST have an SUV, put her in a G-Wagen, fer Chrissakes...!
@Charles_Barrett: Or a GL. It's as big and expensive as it gets.
@billstewartx: Keep in mind, the outdoorsy mullet-wearing Subu-driving Lesbians may be a target demo for a Prada-wearing "Sex and the City" sexpot like Catrall's "Samantha". Perhaps Dr. Z's people INTENTIONALLY styled the GLK to look like the Subu Forester...?
Cougars rrrowrrr!
Kim who?
I wish she'd turn into a mannequin whenever someone else was around.
On the other hand, I like the styling on this new Benz, not great, but better than the minivan-with-a-star that the old Benz SUV's had. Big turbodiesel in there with a 6 speed stick and I'm in.
