jon hamm version is better lol

[HMSAAB]

@prayb4udie omg, go away!

[oscarv362370]

@prayb4udie

[oscarv362370]

@prayb4udie the fact that you will never be able to afford a nice car you fag!!

[prayb4udie]

@oscarv362370 sorry i dont give a shit about a nice car i give my money to some one who needs it and by i cheap car that is easy to work on and will last 200.000 miles on it dont be leave me see for your self at uxwbill Chanel. you ppl make me sick

[oscarv362370]

@prayb4udie you dumb fuck yeah i can tell your that kind of person who is jealous to see a guy in a nice bmw or merc

[fraesmaschine55]

@prayb4udie Each car is for everybody! Stop thinking that BMW is a young people car and benz a old people car.

[prayb4udie]

@fraesmaschine55 u know what you are right

[BenMarar]

 People are blind, why buy other cars when we have Mercedes-Benz,. My 2003 E320 with 110 000 mi drives 100 times better than new "camry" and " acord" or something else.

[HMSAAB]

@BenMarar ofcourse it does, dont even compare dude...

[jim30775]

In the side pole test the c class performs poorly...

[heartlessvietboy]

Those who drive Mercedes and think it is "Class" and are mean to others are no good. They disown and don't talk about the Lower C Class Mercedes. They disown their children. 

[jkfsoccer123]

what song is this?

[edeberna2]

This is the best car I ever had. I hope I never have to test the safety, but the handling that the rigid structure amd 4matic give you is amazing. Try the three (A4 and BMW 328) and you will arrive to the same pick.

[goodgodgivemeabreak]

i want the song. siiiiigh.

[LoveTheCity123]

The car hardly even touched the road ..

[Rodpwnz]

This car saved my life...

[DSNCB919]

"when you buy a car what are you really buying? a shiny coat of paint?"--- I believe that was a slick get back at hyundai for trying to call mercedes out of paint quality.. smart slick reply by leaving the name hyundai out.. shows whos really better since they dont have to talk down on them how they tried to talk down on mercedes ( coming from a Cadillac fan)

[vmedirata]

Nice ! Ordered this model today.. In India though it costs 75 thousand US$ not 33 thousand or 34 like they say here!

[DMSComedy]

I love my Mercedes

[kentau123]

may be trin is good, but suspention is Rubbish electrics too

[goodgodgivemeabreak]

i love the song. i wish it were available for purchase! they also need to tell us WHAT THE DARN THING IS.

[theflyballa]

Oh and by the way, all you fellow americans need to stop hating on european automobiles. detroit cranks out pieces of junk on wheels and thats a plain fact.

wanna help the american economy? stop buying chrysler and gm pieces of junk and let the free market wipe em out of existence before they waste another billion of tax payer bailout dollars.

[jctevere]

@theflyballa I agree that GM cars are terrible, but you can't single out very single U.S. Auto maker, Ford is amazing, and recently has reliability ratings second to none. If you look at the new 5.0l engine in the mustang, that thing is unreal... the 3.6L engine is even more of a marvel. I love my european cars, but you have to give credit where credit is due...

[derbigpr500]

@jctevere Sorry, words "Ford" and "amazing" cant be put into the same sentence. Whats amazing about any new american ford? Cheap materials inside? Poor fit and finish? Feeling of cheapness that all of those cars have? 10 year behind the time design? Awful handling and average comfort? And that goes for all american cars. American manufacturers simply dont build any cars comparable to european ones. Not a single one. Not even the best US car (Cadillac CTS) can do anything against rivals.

[derbigpr500]

@jctevere Whats unreal about 5.0l engine in mustang? That thing is like something from prehistoric area compared to some european V8's like the one's in Audi RS5, Bmw M3, Mercedes SLS, Ferrari 458.... Yes, mustang engine might have similar power, but it doeesnt have the fuel economy, it doesnt have the smoothness, refinement, almost perfect power/torque curves... not to get started on the gearboxes...suspension systems...etc. American cars are FAR behind european ones in all terms. Its a fact.

[jctevere]

@derbigpr500 How is the 5.0L you get 412HP, 390TQ stock, and 17/26 MPG. All the competitor vehicles you name up there that have similar power, you say the Mustang doesn't stack up in the fuel economy department. You are right, it surpasses the Germans there. The E92 M3 - rated at 414HP, 295TQ and a puny 14/20MPG...

And if the gearbox, suspension and other components were really that far behind, than why was the GT able to keep up with the M3 around the track?

I'll save my $29,000, thanks!

[jamhen01]

Take that Hyundai Genesis!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D "The REAL Differences!!!" Mercedes-Benz truly is ENGINEERED UNLIKE ANY OTHER! <3

[colinandrew1]

the commercial on tv sounds like dane cook...this version is a different guy doing the voice over...i think its dane cook, a lot of "stars" do voice over work nowadays...

[JasonBeeArr]

@colinandrew1 I was thinking the same thing about sounding like Dane Cook. Richard Thomas (John-Boy Walton from tv's "The Waltons") has been doing the Mercedes v.o. for a long time but this last one (tv version) sounded like Cook. My bro and I compete at recognizing voices on commercials.. it's fun.

[JasonBeeArr]

@colinandrew1 it's actor Jon Hamm from "Mad Men" but man does he sound like Cook. Weird.

[banstaman]

How safe is it if the curtain airbags don't deploy?

[RedSoxBoy23]

Who is the voice speaker in this?

[watrmellinz]

@RedSoxBoy23 I have the same question. My Dad insists it's Dane Cook. But I highly disagree.

[RedSoxBoy23]

@watrmellinz ITS DEFINITELY NOTTTT DANE COOK. haha not even close

[watrmellinz]

@RedSoxBoy23 Do you know if Dane Cook has done any voice overs? For anything? He's still insisting he's right, and I can't find anything to prove him wrong.

[watrmellinz]

@RedSoxBoy23 I think it's Richard Thomas. He played John-Boy from The Walton's.

[madmenx]

it is not Polyphonic Spree....

[goodgodgivemeabreak]

companies REALLY need to make a database on their websites of what songs they use. you would think they would have to for advertising purposes of the song

[deerjohn100]

If its not the song its really similar.

[deerjohn100]

I think the song is called Light and Day by Polyphonic Spree. They are from the Dallas area.

[morphius51]

Nope.

[deerjohn100]

Is it Polyphonic Spree?

[deerjohn100]

Who is the music by? I like what I briefly get to hear.

[Pitahchez]

BMW & Audi any comments?

[cheaniggachea]

yes...audi is the most technologically advanced car maker on the planet...bmw is pretty serious too....basically as long as its a european car you cant go wrong....

[TestECull]

@cheaniggachea Being technologically advanced doesn't necessarily mean it's a good car. Just look at Toyota. Technologically advanced throttle-by-wire cars running out of control while stone-age throttle-by-cable cars keep on going without issue.

[cheaniggachea]

@TestECull shows how little you know. the toyota accelerator pedal sticking had nothing to do with drive by wire, the actual pedal got stuck because the carpet was interfering and overlapping with the bottom end of the pedal. and technologically advanced means it is a good car because they develop more efficient yet more more powerful engines, quicker shifting transmission, adaptive suspension that can be adjusted, the list just goes on, and all this contributes to making it a better car. tech.

[TestECull]

@cheaniggachea So how come cars that got the shim ran away? And why does the Prius, with it's regenerative braking, have a recall going regarding it's ECU?

Goes to show how little you know. It's not a pedal issue, it's not a dumb driver issue(That's why they're crashing though), it's an electronics issue. Some things are just best kept simple. then again some people are so stupid they couldn't drive if the car didn't do everything for them, so there will always be a market for techspam.

[cheaniggachea]

@TestECull the actual problem was with the accelerator pedal sticking. It actually would jam so that the pedal stayed fully enaged. They resolved the issue by removing the section of carpet that was interfering with the actual pedal. If it was an ECU problem, the car would accelerate on its own with out you even touching the gas pedal, and that never happend. It happened when people were trying to accelerate by pressing down on the pedal.

[TestECull]

@cheaniggachea Cars have run away with all of those fixes. It's an ECU problem, only Toyota won't admit it outright.

Some things are best left to the stone age. Throttle, Steering, Brakes and the transmission are four of them. Cable throttle, hydraulically assisted steering, hydraulic brakes, manual H-gate transmission, that's the way they should be done. Anything else is overcomplicating systems that are directly responsible for EVERYONE's safety. Leave the technology to Fomula 1, kthnxbai.

[cheaniggachea]

@TestECull alright there michael schumacher,

please guide us further into the depths of your automotive knowledge

[TestECull]

@cheaniggachea Wow, what a combination. Blind, believes the media AND rude as hell. No wonder you think making everything crazily advanced is good.

If you want to know why throttle by wire, braking by wire and steering by wire scare me, just look at PCs. They crash incessantly, have all sorts of errors, and they're built by companies dedicated to making electronics. They're not built by a half-baked Japanese car company that thinks it can do no wrong.

Why I like manuals? More fun than autos.

[cheaniggachea]

@TestECull please stop you know very little. its called drive by wire, and its more effective than the conventional method because it reduces fuel consumption and increases throttle response, not my fault chink car makers are trash and cant make good cars. when i talk cars i talk euro because they are the best, and shit like that doesnt happen in mercedes or bmw your argument has no supporting evidence, you cant use toyota as evidence and say that technology in cars is useless, thats just toyota

[TestECull]

@cheaniggachea lol you have no idea the likelihood of an electrical failure in anything. European cars are still built by humans, they're still prone to failure, and if you're dumb enough to believe they're not you have no business driving.

[cheaniggachea]

@TestECull stop putting words in my mouth in attempt to further develop your weak argument,

your talking about personal computers reliability in comparison to the reliability of suspension and drivetrain systems in cars? hahah please...

go copy and paste some more useless garbage to try and make it seem like you know what your talking about... your argument has soo many holes in it, i will no longer dignify your comments with a response.

p.s your a clown

[TestECull]

@cheaniggachea Oh, good, so you concede to my standpoint and give up, eh? Nice to know you finally figured out that electronics are unreliable.

Get off the road anyways, you trust these electronics too much.

[regisiam]

@cheaniggachea i hope if i had read you message before bying my lincoln ,very unreliable ,im spending my life in repair shop ,i think in 4 years it will cost me the same price just in repairs. I guess the germans knows how to make cars ,americans are good in making big whols in other peopl's country .

[RayVal53]

@regisiam Or it could just be that you dont know how to take care of your cars... But yes, we Americans can make a smoking crater of you and your country too! =D

[regisiam]

@RayVal53 GM went down must be for a reason lol? Your economy is down must be for a reason lol ? Oh i forget your god, you control this planet and your always right. Seems you’re proud that you are a war like country, i will be ashamed. I love the US of great scientists, love the US that has heart, that doses not discriminate and the US who gives hope to the world that everything is possible. My country is a peaceful one we don’t want to fight anybody .

[RayVal53]

@regisiam GM is still alive and kicking. Our economy is still alive and kicking... True, corporate greed and government beauracracy is causing some turbulence for my country, but we are actually doing quite well compared to most of our like sized/populated worldly counterparts. "seems youre proud youre a war like country" Dont be rediculous. If you are under the impression this isnt a dog eat dog world, then you are naive. Best to be aggressive and alive then submissive and dead.

[regisiam]

@RayVal53 I’m really hoping for the come back of great American cars . Being competitive and being aggressive is two different things, i like America for your great values and not for destroying other countries and Spreading wars ,throwing oil on oceans and polluting the air and finally saying “we are always right and everybody must follow us”. You have to learn how to live in peace and harmony with nature including other humans who are different than you.

[Stangorino281]

@regisiam we wernt the ones that put oil in the ocean. it was the brits. America is always right, but right now, this isnt america. its more like obamanation, or the USSA, and its really fucked up. no one has anymore values, everyone is fat, the corporate cartels fuck people over for money, people are too politically correct to think about america's best interests, and were gonna go to shit soon if no one does anything. bush was mentally retarded, but obama intentionally wants to destroy us.

[regisiam]

@Stangorino281 How come you’re always right? Look at your history slave owners declaring all humans are equal!! You never stop war and selling Weapon to dictatorship regimes. Your media is all propaganda . My country is not perfect, Germany is not perfect. I’m sure everybody will love the US if you just mind your business and focus on your internal issues. I’m sure you have some great smart Americans that never got the chance. I really hope America will rise up in a positive way.Peace

[Stangorino281]

@regisiam maybe you didnt read what i said. if its not right over here, its probably not america right now. america has values and doesnt tolerate corruption, but this isnt america anymore. no one here has values and is obsessed with money. thats more like assholeland than america.

[AfrikaaBombeetza]

@regisiam i hope all the americans in the world, are found by the chinese and jailed; and then sent to death camps, where they are all brutally murdered by shot to the head

[theflyballa]

@cheaniggachea: i hope that was a joke. Mercedes-Benz have led the way with innovations in technology ever since theyve existed, not Audi. Dont get me wrong, both are great cars but all the innovations in safety and technology were made by mercedes first, then copied by other manufacturers. for ex: seat belts, air bags, antilock brakes, electronic stability control, radar guided cruise control, infrared night vision assist,...and the list goes on.

Look it up!

[cheaniggachea]

@theflyballa I dont think you understand how wrong you really are. First of all, who invented the best 4 wheel drive system ever? let me give you a hint, its called quatro and is made by audi. What about the most sophisticated suspension systems that are fully adjustable and feature magnets to dampen the shock absorbers? Another first by audi. Or how about audi parent company (volkswagen) who invented the first car (vw bettle) and the first van (eurobus) as we know them today?

[cheaniggachea]

I agree with you, mercedes is great, as a matter of fact i am picking up a c300 instead of an audi a4, basically because i love how the c class looks compared to the audi. But you do need to understand that volkswagen/audi invented things which almost every car uses today such as fuel injection, power streering, dual clutch transmissions, adjustable suspension, and high performance, efficient diesel engines... they have made serious innovations to the mechanical aspect of the car.

[theflyballa]

@cheaniggachea: yeah, you named like 2 things audi have done. i dont have time to argue with you...i suggest looking up the list of innovations mb have made, with the flagship s class to be mroe specific.

And lmao VW acquired audi in the 60s, so dont credit audi with the things vw did 50 years prior. you need to do some research son.

[cheaniggachea]

@theflyballa i named 2 things? ok so i guess math is not your thing? and neither are languages?.... because your reading comprehension is terrible. i did not credit audi with things vw did 50 years ago. i was just implying that audi is superior because they are owned by a company that had the most innovations in automotive history, thus making them part of something revolutionary. the innovations audi brought to the table, combined with what vw already had to begin with...VAG wins buddy

[jctevere]

@cheaniggachea The funny thing is, Mercedes actually let VW and Audi use their bluetec technology for efficient diesel engines, in hopes of making diesel more popular in the U.S. Then 3 years later, VW droped the partnership because they did not want to sell things with there name on it that they didn't create. Don't believe me, look it up... Audi cars look great, but my A4 had a tranny total failure twice within 30k miles, and everyone I know who has an Audi can't speak well about it...

[edeberna2]

@cheaniggachea They should be able to improve their electrical sysyrm that sucks then.

[jctevere]

@cheaniggachea Audi's quattro system is not the best, not even close, in fact, some argue it is one of the worst... If you look at 4matic, xdrive and quattro, xdrive is the best in terms of capability. However, the best all-wheel drive system hands down has to go to subarau... Simply unbeatable.

[jctevere]

@theflyballa I love mercedes as much as the next guy, but I don't think you can attribute all those things to them. For the simple fact that I believe GM was the first company to come out with anti-lock brakes.

[cheaniggachea]

@jctevere everything you said was very fair. i agree with all your points. i just tend to get upset when ppl say oh american cars are better than european ones. it just frustrates me in a way. yes american automakers are improving, but in terms of having built cars over the years with race inspired performance and pedigree, high quality materials and elegant, aggressive styling - america is nowhere to be seen. you really cant compare a 5.0 mustang to say a bmw m3, and thats what ppl do on here

[jniemo]

This is the one area no one will ever match the Germans.

[alexander1485]

@jniemo you forgot the swededs?

[jniemo]

@alexander1485 I would say the Swedes build some very solid cars that are far above the pack but still come in second...they do however have a more agressive safety marketing campaign.

[johnnyboyfart]

@jniemo YEA OK WHAT ABOUT THE ITALIANS U FAGGOT

[jniemo]

@johnnyboyfart What about them? Also, no need to bring your lifestyle into things :)

[johnnyboyfart]

@jniemo italians rule fuck yea

[kuvceebxab1]

@jniemo better still let the German come up with cars that dont consume any fuel.

[derbigpr500]

@jniemo Actually, german cars arent the safest out there.

[jniemo]

@derbigpr500 Then who's? Since you are so well informed, tell us. I can back up my view point. Can you?

[derbigpr500]

@jniemo Renault and Volvo are safest auto makers. They have the largest amount of 5 star cars, highest scores, and thoughest body shells. For example, Renault Laguna from 2001. (which was the first car in the world to get 5 star euro-ncap rating while cars like bmw 5 had 3 stars) was crashed into the tree at 55 mph, and interior was completely intact , doors opened normaly etc.

[jniemo]

@derbigpr500 I have seen that Fifth Gear episode. Solid car but, if my butt was in the drivers seat, I would take the Benz over either Renault or Volvo any day. Why? I make my living on the Mercedes product and have dealt with the product from the inside out for many years. There is a difference. Thsi is from seeign first hand, not watching a video or crash tests.

[derbigpr500]

@jniemo And you think i'm talking without experiance? My family has had multiple renaults in past 10 years, and none of the cars in their classes feel as safe when driving, including mercedes / bmw.

[FantomLightning]

@jniemo 1 word Saab I do like Mercedes and I will say they are very safe cars I would still put my money in a Saab

[corosivia]

what is the name of the song?

[pepito060666]

Great for Mercedes as always .....love it.
