Daimler announced today that it has delivered the first Mercedes GLK. The first Mercedes GLK was delivered by plant manager Peter Schabert in the Bremen Customer Center to Magdalena Dietz, 29, entrepreneur and PR consultant. The model she chose is the Mercedes GLK 320 CDI 4MATIC in metallic tenorite gray.
"The GLK is our most important new model this year," said plant manager Peter Schabert. "It is the first compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) from Mercedes-Benz and the first Mercedes-Benz SUV ‘Made in Bremen’, so I am particularly delighted to personally hand over the first GLK to its owner. I am sure she will be impressed by its unmistakable look, outstanding performance - on and off the road - and its safety and comfort."
Ms. Dietz and her husband Christian live in the city of Düren near Aachen and are the owners of the public relations agency "wortsuchttext." "The GLK is simply a perfect match for our agency: it has a modern character and stands out clearly from its competitors," said Ms. Dietz. "As the first GLK customer following the market launch, I am very pleased to get our GLK handed over personally in its birthplace by the plant manager himself - and now, after weeks of anticipation, I can’t wait to take the vehicle out for a spin for the first time."
