Mercedes M-Class Commercial: Tree Turned to Firewood

Now that the reveal of the brand new M-Class SUV is over, it’s up to the marketing teams to see if they can find a good pitch or angle to sell it. We expected a lot but we got very little with the last commercials and videos, so have they learned their lesson?
Well, they tried to be a little wittier with the latest commercial, but we’re not really impressed, and you shouldn’t be either. A driver of the brand new M-Class comes across a fallen tree that’s blocking the road. The SUV must be very “good” off-road, because instead of going around the blockage and enjoying a bit of fun in the dirt, he chops the tree and puts it in his cavernous trunk.

Now I know that 2,010 is supposed to be very impressive, but a pickup truck is what you carry wood in, not a brand new luxury SUV. The only thing that gets the blood going is his gorgeous wife, but we don’t even get to see them cuddle.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
