MONTVALE, N.J. - March 04, 2009

Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) today reported February sales of 14,199 vehicles. While sales for the month were down from last year, the company's February volume put it ahead of its mainstream competitors for the month.

A key contributor to February performance was the all-new 2010 GLK350, MBUSA's versatile, compact SUV, which made a strong showing during its first full month on the market with sales of 1,918.

The GLK's February sales made it one of the company's top-selling models behind the C-Class (3,990) and E-Class (2,104).

Sales gains were made by the iconic Mercedes-Benz SL and popular CLK models. Sales for the SL-Class increased 26.6 percent for the month with sales of 462 new vehicles (versus 365 vehicles in February 2008). The CLK-Class recorded sales of 1,134 new vehicles, a 15.4 percent increase over the same period last year (983 new vehicles).

Separately, through the Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned (MBCPO) program, MBUSA sold 5,795 vehicles in February; a 28.3 percent increase compared to February 2008 sales of 4,517 vehicles.

Year-to-date sales for the MBCPO program are 12,548, a 54.1 percent increase over 2008 year-to-date sales (8,141 vehicles) during the same timeframe.
