Stuttgart (ots) --

Anmoderation: Franz Beckenbauer from driving cars today with the star. Mercedes-Benz and the former football world champions have agreed on a long-term cooperation. At today's media workshop of the DFB in the Mercedes-Benz branch in Stuttgart, the partnership was announced. Great station for the emperor, dozens of photographers, camera crews and media representatives were present when Beckenbauer pulled up in the new E-Class Convertible:

O-Ton Franz Beckenbauer: What does this mean for me? Joy! I am pleased to be landed back at Mercedes-Benz. I was already at a very young age - I was 23 years old and already had three child family man - and even then, in 1968, I drove Mercedes. That was the 6.3-liter at the time. I needed it for a large family. And since I'm actually Mercedes drivers, with some interruptions. But now back again and am of course delighted. (0'35)

1974 Franz Beckenbauer was a World Champion player, 1990 then as a coach. His successor, Joachim Loew thinks the world of the new Mercedes-Benz brand of Representatives and former colleagues:

O-Ton Joachim Loew: Franz Beckenbauer is the representative not only of German football, but also by the German countryside in the whole world. It is known everywhere. And he and his successes, even with his aura and his charisma, of course, also fits beautifully with Mercedes-Benz, and of course always with us. And I'm glad whenever I see Franz, when can I talk with him a bit and I think this partnership fits perfectly. (0'26)

For exactly 20 years of Mercedes-Benz is the general sponsor of the national team. In 1990, the national coach Franz Beckenbauer were instrumental in that it came to the collaboration. National team manager Oliver Bierhoff is proud of the longstanding cooperation and delight in the fact that shortly before the World Cup Franz Beckenbauer has joined the team:

O-Ton Oliver Bierhoff
Yes, I think the best decision of Mercedes, Franz, believe
I am after some time to get back to her back. I have a think
Emperor, of course, also fits into a Mercedes, but above all
his international fame. So there are surveys that
of foreign guests, he actually even before the Chancellor
or is called great writers like Goethe from Germany.
This simply shows also limited by the 2006 World Cup that he has a
incredibly high awareness and I think it has also
Mercedes-Benz very usable. (0'30)

Franz Beckenbauer - is known around the world - especially to give the sport sponsorship activities of the Stuttgart-based car manufacturer in the soccer an even higher profile Sund says Anders Jensen, Head of Brand Communications Mercedes-Benz Cars

O-Ton Anders Sundt Jensen, Franz Beckenbauer's a man who has left traces in the very early German football. We, Mercedes-Benz, since 1972, the DFB, for over 20 years, moreover, as the main sponsor of the DFB. For us this is a great story that we have such an outstanding personality like Franz Beckenbauer, is a major brand personality as the Mercedes-Benz together can bring. (0'24)

This is coming to Geneva, right? I'm very interested to see how it turns out; hopefully MB can transform the ugly duckling of the family into something more pleasing to the eye.

 

[Der Hofmeister]

I am pretty careful(as I had lived with the illusion of a VISION CLS Concept without knowing a thing about the F 800 ) with saying that we should see the R-Class Facelift in a provisional press release to be issued before Geneva Motor Show, which means around next week.

The ugly duckling will be transformed with the addition of the new front fascia and the final result I was lucky to see is good, but if you ask me, a much sportier approach would have done miracles. Because to me, the headlights, combined with the grille, look a bit overdimensioned and give the front end a quite unbalanced, heavy look. But, all in all, the W 251 FL is clearly better than the current R-Class.

well it seems mercedes can't create a car without those fugly Dfogs ..

 

[fortuner]

hey mbz fan is the interior any different or is it the same...

 

[Der Hofmeister]

hey mbz fan is the interior any different or is it the same...

Not many changes, just slight modification, such as a steering à la M-Class and new, better quality materials.

What really upsets me are the double fogs;the car looks horrible with them. I really don't know why Mercedes-Benz is not giving up this terrible solution.

 

[HighestOfHigh]

Might not be too bad with the double fogs. The Trucks/Crossovers seem to look good with the Double fogs. I'm sure the LED option will be available.

 

[klier]

IMO the ONLY car in the whole line up that looks good with double retard fogs is the GL.

 

[Shining Star]

WCF is saying that the car could debut either at NY or Paris. Seems plausible, but WCF has been wrong lately about lots of things.

They're also reporting that the R FL will get Night View, Blind Spot, and Lane Keeping assist.

 

[Yaz]

The only way to find out is to visit the park under the Brooklyn Bridge to see if they're shooting any press photos .

I think it'll be NY since it was introduced here in '05.

 

[coolraoul]

IMO the ONLY car in the whole line up that looks good with double retard fogs is the GL.

Yeah I agree. All the others look cheesy at best with those twin fogs.

 

[Human]

So it gets ML front treatment, shorter overhang in front?...reminds me of the Peugeot 3008
