A 45 AMG Holiday Commercial is Painfully Awkward

The smallest AMG model ever has made quite a name for itself in recent months, with most reviewers praising its on-track competence and bonkers performance.
As most of you know, the Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG is powered by what is probably the most epic four-cylinder engine in the world right now.

With just four-cylinders, two liters of displacement and a turbocharger, Affalterbach engineers managed to squeeze no less than 360 (355 bhp) and 450 Nm (332 lb ft) of torque, more than enough to propel the small AMG A-Class from naught to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.6 seconds.

But is that power and performance enough to distort the time and space continuum and make an old person's body rejuvenate? Sure it is, when talking about a mildly cheesy but well made commercial trying to infuse the car's performance into its viewers.

Not when talking about the following ad though, as the horrible acting made us think we're watching a porn movie without all the spicy bits. On the other hand, maybe that's just us, so why don't you tell us what you think about it.
