KIM CATTRALL - CATTRALL ENDORSES SEX VEHICLE

KIM CATTRALL is so smitten with the Mercedes her character SAMANTHA drives in the new SEX + THE CITY movie the actress is endorsing the new vehicle. Cattrall told film bosses she thought her fast-living, manhungry character should drive a new Mercedes-Benz GLK Freeside Concept after car bosses asked her to become a spokeswoman for the sports utility vehicle (SUV). And she's so taken with her new ride, she helped Daimler bosses unveil the car at a pre-North American International Auto Show gala on Saturday night (12Jan08). She says, "Very passionate people make Mercedes and they're very smart and I've always considered both of those things right down Samantha's alley. It's a cutting-edge car." Filmgoers will be able to see the new SUV in action when Sex + the City opens in America on 20 May (08).
