Detroit Auto Show: Mercedes GLK revealed officially, again, amidst uncomfortable old people sexual innuendo

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.

@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...?

@Charles_Barrett: Or a GL. It's as big and expensive as it gets.

@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...!

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.

Here, that looks like a Gelandewagen in the background. They must still be making them. Cool.

That is quite unsettling. Of course it may have been done with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

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!

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.

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.

Are you trying to imply that Dr. Z is not sexy?
