I don't get the ads? All they do is show the competitor's logos in beautiful glory.

All logos are backwards as if you looking at them through rear-view mirror

Those are cute ads, but I dunno if I would show so much of those other brands. Risky and confusing to some I'm sure.

Cocky Ads considering this video result

That's what I dislike about Mercedes lately. Some of their ads are over confident and don't reflect the real world. The SLS however is feast for the eyes in the photo shoot on the previous page. It's the first German car in a several years that has the mesmerizing beauty of an Italian car.

Ads in Germany might be a bit different, emphasizing creativity?

Here's a recent ranking of ad creativity.

For those not tuned into marketing so much like myself, it might require some thinking before "getting the point".

For those who not tuned into german language it might require even more...

Hmm, I don't know how I feel about those Ads.

I'm a big proponent for M-B's cocky/confident Ads, as that's a part of them really. As long as they're realistic in a sense (nothing in Marketing is realistic) and back them up with the products.

However, those are somewhat confident, somewhat not. One, because they're using another brand to make themselves look good, and two, because they're using another brand to make themselves look good.

Looks like Harry Metcalf has taken over custodial duties of the Roadster tested by Henry Catchpole. Via Twitter:

"Not the best week to run an SLS Roadster but impressed with the way it can handle 'normality'. Always been an AMG USP
Does look better than it sounds. More Romford than Burford though"

^My God that is a good looking car!

With the V8 engine mounted very low inside the chassis, behind the front wheels, combine with a rear transaxle and a light and rigid aluminium space frame structure, the SLS is more of a proper junior super car than most people's assumption because of the badge.

With the V8 engine mounted very low inside the chassis, behind the front wheels, combine with a rear transaxle and a light and rigid aluminium space frame structure, the SLS is more of a proper junior super car than most people's assumption because of the badge.

Many think if the engine is not behind it is not a true sportscar. They are so wrong.
