Mercedes-Benz unveiled the all-new GLK SUV this past weekend in Beijing.
The new Mercedes-Benz GLK is going to go head to head with the BMW X3, Acura RDX, Audi Q5, Infiniti EX35, etc. The US-spec GLK 350 features a 268 horsepower 3.5L V6 that can put the power to the ground through either RWD or 4matic all-wheel-drive. The SUV is expected to reach 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds and achieve an average of 23mpg.

lol, the background made me laugh as well
but i dunno, the glk looks like merc cut off a foot or two off the bottom of the gl (height wise), took a few feet off the length, and called it a car. The proportions are totally off especially if u look at the side view of the car (last two on the third row).
i think its because the a pillar is too tall? or something else, but the off-proportioned-ness really bothers me for some reason

It looks like a garden hoe with a load of compost on the back... Yes, the car, not the background.

Mercedes has completely lost their design direction... none of their cars looks even remotely related any more...

First pic is dead-on:
Market towards the people that can afford it: urban drug dealers.

The ad screams:
"Wow, If I buy a GLK, my homosexual friends and I can hang undeterred in the sketchy part of town!"
I especially like the black guy practising his gangsta lean and smiling at who I presume would be a bottom.

They only used this background to distract you from ugly this car is.
This is the Benz version of Taurus X, the only question is which is uglier? I have to give the Benz the nod here.

It's sad when Mercedes is trying this hard to appeal to young audiences, aka the background, the euro trash guys, and a even bigger logo on the grill, no thanks MB I think I'll stay with my BMW X3 :D
