So, Mercedes start a new advertisement campaign. This was in our newspaper (the paper above has the dimension of two DIN A4 papers - so you can imagine, how big the large one is...

)...

"Think at the first car, that overawe you"

"The old way of showing representation, sovereignty, stateliness..."

"The new way of showing size: representative, sovereign, handsome and timeless, elegant and extremely dynamic..."

Well, i guess they've failed with that new way of showing size...

Sorry, i just had to...

Plus, i think they screwed up big time with using that old Benz as reference car.

That car was something and will never be forgotten, while R class... I know many true MB enthusiasts that wish it never saw the light of the day.

i like the new bumpter treatment for the R..
it doesent look bad.. given that its a van
ive always said it..its the best looking van..

but should MB make van's?
well thats another discussion

I have to agree that the comparison is quite lame. It gives an impression that MB is ready to do anything to get some publicity for their R-Class.

True, even if that include making fool of themselves...

I mean, come on! Pullman with R class?

Not necessarily, if it looked like the concept it would have been great.

Yup, for sure, but unfortunately it didn't.

When I saw the 600 Pullmann, I thought: "Great commercial for the S 600 or the new Bluetec models"...but then, I saw the R-Class...good idea, but the advert is for the wrong car.

You can't compare an R-Class to a Pullman. Which advertising company came up with this bull? And which executive at MB agreed to it?

I saw this too in my latest Auto Motor und Sport. I didn't think too much of it then, but I did think about it afterwards and it's a dumb comparison.

Give me the 600 anyday.
