The lobby in the Bryant Park tents will showcase the newest GLK350 compact sport SUV and the high performance, limited production matte white SL63 AMG Edition IWC.
The 2010 GLK350 offers affordable luxury in a small package. At a starting price of $33,900, the five-passenger GLK features a V-6 engine with 268-horsepower and an edgy design that reflects a modern interpretation of the iconic G-Class. The sporty lines of the new GLK suggest power and agility creating the perfect balance of style, versatility and performance.
The SL63 AMG Edition IWC is a design statement worthy of the best runway shows at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. The limited edition roadster's interior is finished with luxurious Tobago Brown Nappa leather with contrast stitching and carbon fiber inserts on both the door panels and center console. The SL63 AMG Edition IWC exterior is an eye-catching Magno Cashmere White paint with matte finish -- the first of its kind on a production Mercedes-Benz vehicle. A limited edition "Grosser Ingenieur" watch from the renowned Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen will be featured. Only 200 SL63 AMG Edition IWC roadsters will be made and only 63 will be available to US customers.
