In the record industry, a recording artist earns a platinum record plaque if and when they sell a million copies of their album. It is a rare thing, however, which is why so few artists and bands ultimately earn them and why it is such a big deal when someone does it. Selling a million of something is a big deal, and it should be celebrated when it happens.
The good people at Mercedes-Benz are feeling especially celebratory this month because the Mercedes-Benz GLC recently sold its one-millionth model, a testament to just how successful this crossover has been in just ten years. Originally called the Mercedes-Benz GLK, these SUVs were initially released in 2008 at a time when the idea of the crossover was taking off and business here at Fields Motorcars for such vehicles was booming.
Now, less than a decade later, the automaker has hit the one-million mark in terms sales, giving it the vehicular equivalent of a platinum record on its resume.
It should come as no surprise that this model is the best-selling automobile that Mercedes-Benz currently manufactures. For what it’s worth, the Mercedes-Benz GLC models also are the best-selling luxury SUV available at Florida Mercedes-Benz dealerships, period, proving that when it comes to quality, luxury, safety, and technology, it sure is hard to top a model as versatile and lavish as this one.
