Mercedes ad: Let the good time roll!

by Muamer Hodzic (RSS feed) June 27th, 2007 at 11:14 am

While I get email on a daily basis from readers, asking me all kinds of questions about Mercedes, this was certainly an email that made me smile. Corin designed this great print ad, that could certainly be mistaken for a real Mercedes ad, for us. The design itself is just beautiful and the idea is just fantastic. The way I would interpret the ad is that when you drive a Mercedes, you are “guaranteed” to have a great time with all the girls you’ll meet. It is great to see some original ideas. Keep them coming Corin and anyone else who’d like to join.

Mercedes ML63 AMG vs. Audi RS4 Avant

by Muamer Hodzic (RSS feed) June 27th, 2007 at 10:52 am

Here some cool footage showing the ML63 AMG against an Audi RS4 Avant in a rolling start race. Accelerating from 50km to 250km is no problem for both of the vehicles, but the ML does it just better and faster. Now I am not sure if this is a fair race, as one is a car and the other an SUV, but honestly, we don’t care. The sound is just amazing that the ML produces; it growls just like a lion.

Mercedes C63 AMG spy video

by Muamer Hodzic (RSS feed) June 26th, 2007 at 7:49 am

A very interesting and somehow funny video is making its way around the internet. It’s about a couple of guys who have stocked the test driver of the upcoming Mercedes C63 AMG and took some cool footage. An interesting thing that our insider noticed is that they have covered the hood with a metal plate, probably to cover the new hood that the new AMG cars will have. We have found out that the future AMG hoods will have a bulge similar to what the first-gen SLK had. Enjoy, be be warned, the guys are a bit obnoxious.

After watching the video a couple of times, I can’t stop thinking that the video is somehow staged. I mean the way they acted and talked was bit weird. The funny thing is that when the test driver came out of store, he just kept yelling “nein, nein, nein” wouldn’t he also say something other than that. Is it possible that Merc is trying to do some viral video marketing, if so that is cool, if not, than those guys are some obsessed and crazy AMG fans, which isn’t bad either.

logthumbnail111 Mercedes Benz to organise the worlds largest safety conference in Stuttgart in 2009
The world’s largest and most important conference on automotive safety will take place in Stuttgart in spring 2009. During this “Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles” (ESV), engineers, representatives from official bodies and politicians will discuss measures and technologies for the further improvement of vehicle safety. Mercedes-Benz is organising the event, which will be accompanied by an extensive background programme, in cooperation with Germany’s Federal Highway Research Institute. “The purpose of this major conference is to underline the importance of Stuttgart and Sindelfingen as automotive industry locations with a rich tradition, where systematic car safety development commenced under B©la Bar©nyi in 1939, and which have brought forth many trailblazing technologies for safer driving”, says Dr. Thomas Weber, the member of the DaimlerChrysler Board of Management for Research and Development.
