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. galleryPost('glkexterior', 12, 'Mercedes GLK Vision Freeside Exterior Photos'); galleryPost('glkinterior', 6, 'Mercedes GLK Vision Freeside Interior Photos'...

We've already showed you Mercedes' new mouthful, the 2009 GLK Vison Freestyle 320 CTDi Bluetech Concept . But tonight, Mercedes officially unveiled it at big band extravaganza at MOCAD . galleryPost('glkexterior', 15, 'Mercedes GLK Vision Freeside Exterior Photos'); galleryPost('glkinterior', 9, 'Mercedes GLK Vision Freeside Interior Photos'); galleryPost('glkvisionconcept', 9, 'Mercedes GLK Vision Concept'); Due to the extravagance of the event, we couldn't help but feel that we were experiencing something akin to the last days of the Roman Empire. While a 1920's influenced German brass band played Britney Spears covers , Kim Catrall made a cameo appearance, we drank moderately-priced champagne and Dr. Z delivered a partially incomprehensible accounting of Mercedes' accounts. We don't really understand where the GLK fits into all of this and weren't totally impressed. It looks like a busy, fussy X3 with really...

var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/movies/Sex_and_the_City_mistakingly_reveals_new_Mercedes_SUV_PICS'; Our spy photographers caught a completely naked 2009 Mercedes GLK on the set of the new Sex and the City movie. The new Mercedes CUV sans camo is looking better than we expect co-star Sarah Jessica Parker probably does sans her own caked on camouflage-like makeup. Luckily our spy mistress Brenda Priddy tells us this particular shot featured the sultry cougar Kim Cattrall at the wheel in this shot taken not in the siren's normal hunting grounds of Manhattan, but rather on Rodeo Drive. Rowr! We hope she'll be riding the new GLK into Cobo Hall at the Detroit Auto Show for what we're told should be the mini-ute's world debut. galleryPost('2009MercedesGLKSex', 3, 'Spy Photos - Mercedes GLK Gets Sexy in the City'); Although supposedly it'll be off-road ready despite sharing many components with the new C Class, with power expected to come from a 3.5-liter...

Probably not these specific Mercedes GLK test vehicles (with some fun n' friendly competitors) as they were spotted on the Autobahn rather than on a Michigan highway. Despite the location, the word on the street is we'll be seeing the official unveil of the new mini-ute from Mercedes at the Detroit Auto Show in January. As we've said before, the GLK supposedly will share many components with the new C Class and power is expected to come from a 3.5-liter V6 with Mercedes 4Matic all-wheel-drive as a standard feature. In addition, all versions are expected to have the 7G-Tronic TouchShift automatic transmission. Full spy report from KGP below the jump. galleryPost('2009MercedesGLKConvoy', 3, '2009 Mercedes GLK Convoy'); This one isn't breaking news in any way, but it's something one of our spies ran into while travelling the autobahn. He caught an enormous Mercedes test fleet, consisting of seven GLK prototypes, and a choice selection of some of the the...
