The site allows the user to design their own car, with the ability to customise the colour and rims, ultimately showcasing the car through an interactive music video. Users also have the ability to manipulate the music and interact with the surrounding objects in the video once they have completed the customisation process. There's also a cell phone application which one can download.
The site also includes a “GLK backstage” link where the obligatory stats for the vehicle are shown.
The site is rich in new media which means the loading time in SA feels way too long. Presumably, the premium compact SUV is targeted at someone who is slightly older and a lot more sophisticated than me, with far less time for adver-games, customisation of cars and electronica music. One has to question whether this great idea was implemented on the wrong product by Mercedes.
