2009 Mercedes-Benz GLK Class
Check out Samantha and her new Merc SUV!
Wikipedia ... The Mercedes-Benz GLK (code name X204) is a compact crossover competing with the Infiniti EX, Acura RDX, BMW X3 and Land Rover LR2/Freelander, as well as the upcoming Audi Q5, Volvo XC60, Saab 9-4X, and Cadillac BRX. The model sits below the M-Class in the lineup.
The GLK-Class was launched in 2008 and is built in Bremen (Germany), the first Mercedes SUV to be built there. Its design is heavily influenced by the GL-Class.
On 2008-01-12, actress Kim Cattrall appeared at a special unveiling ceremony at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, confirming that her Sex and the City character (Samantha Jones) would drive the SUV in the movie version of the popular TV show.
The GLK was presented for the first time in 2008 in Detroit under the form of the Mercedes-Benz Vision GLK Freeside concept. The GLK-Class shares the C-Class (W204) platform.

I love this shot of Big and Carrie, along with their 'wedding car' ... a sexy, bad-ass, Merc S-class.
ps - Vanityfair.com 's Kate Ahlborn and Louisine Frelinghuysen brilliantly analysed and captured all the product placement opportunities during the film!
