Mercedes-Benz CLS television commercial

[MrIceman001]

The W124 doors must sound like PLOM! Really rock car.

[sntg07]

I LOVE THE CLS 2006

[souliz428]

Whats up with these people not locking their mercedes

[DamnStraightM35A2]

They missed the W123!!! WTF....at least they used the W114

[WhatTheFproductions]

I know this sounds weird but I love the sound of a door being shut on our C230....

[7477238]

@WhatTheFproductions Doesn't sound weird at all. That's what MBZ cars are known for, well the old ones at least. My friend's 190E was a very solid car.

[luisinhoens90]

My sister has the same car as 0:14. A 250C from 72 buth her car is pearl white. I´m having a hard time looking for those fog lights.

[whattheheck1000]

but this is a beautiful ad, IMHYO....

[amirrozlan]

i like the door thunk thing they got going on. very clever.

[Hanequin]

Coup? COOP? COOHP!?

No-- Coupé.

[ash7990]

Surely the Rover P5 coupe of the 1950's/60's was the first ever 4 door coupe. Think it was called the 'P5 b'

[sk8gurly123]

Thats a sexy muthafucka!!!

[wildbloodydragon]

Come on. 4 door coupe?

[LexLutherXL]

have an open mind why don't ya

[wildbloodydragon]

I do. Accurate terminology doesn't imply close-mindedness, but rather attention to accuracy.

Breaking the rules of language doesn't take an open mind either.

[LexLutherXL]

the term 'coupe' does not only mean a car consisting with only two doors my friend.

there are 7 types of coupes. the newest one is the four door coupe.

wikipedia it or google it. its like when the first sports car sedan was released. just gonna have to realize some things change over time;

including "terms"

[wildbloodydragon]

"A sedan with classic coupé-like proportions.The designation was first applied to a low-roof model of the Rover P5 from 1962 until 1973, but was revived as recently as 2004 by the Mercedes-Benz CLS."

1. It's not the "first ever"

2. It's not a coupe, because of its sedan-like proportions.

It's a fastback. Wiki that.

[LexLutherXL]

whats youre definition of a coupe, and if youre so against it take it up with VW, MB, BMW, Audi, and anyonther erupean car comp.

[wildbloodydragon]

My definition of a coupe is everybody else's definition of a coupe. It's a 2 door car with a sporty shape.

Will do, I will write an email to Mercedes and tell them this marketing tactic is pointlessly stupid.

[LexLutherXL]

well this conversation is pointless who cars if they say its a four door coupe.

if they want to call it a four door coupe im sure there is not a great deal you about it.

i who ever thought that there would be a four door sports car?

just accept it and learn to love the idea of something rather then retaliate against it.

[wildbloodydragon]

I've learned not to bend over for corporations.

MB has a lot to be proud of. This title means nothing to the customer, it's non-innovative, inaccurate, and therefore completely pointless. That's all I know.

[LexLutherXL]

i respect your point of view.

i guess some people like the idea and some people dilike it.

is what it is

[wildbloodydragon]

I appreciate that.

Like I said though, Mercedes has a lot more to be proud of. They quite literally invented nearly every safety feature that is standard on all modern cars nowadays. I'd much rather see them use that for advertising. Or their reliability, luxury, and comfort.

[skbuoy]

I wished time would go back

[incomplete82]

Very Adorable .... !

Great history and still ....

I love mercedes Benz ....... Forever !

[gypsysisterlove4]

mercedes!! 4life!&4ever! numer!!!! 1 (Y)

[LOLOBASHNO2006]

where is the W123 coupe ???

[MercedesTwins]

probably deemed too similar to the W114 shown, the body styles were quite similar, after all

[MREURONCAP]

A great add... im thinking ¿what's better, a MB GL class or a Volvo XC60, 70 or 90?

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

take the xc90 its affordable, and very comfortable car, the GL-Class you're getting rip of..

[JohnRhysMusician]

The GL has more features and is better looking. It has a better crash safety rating, but the Volvo is a better overall value. I know from experience that Mercedes-Benz maintenance costs are through the roof. I have owned 4 and I averaged about $2,800 per year in mechanical costs.

[likemudkips]

Or, get a GLK or ML. The GL is a more expensive ML car, and the GLK is the best CUV.

[drvids]

does anyone know what car was in the 2cd generation previewed here?

[ianfigures]

I remember this commercial... I thought it was pretty cool. I can't believe I found it on youtube. What year was this from?

[drvids]

2005

[KorWeng]

That narrator got sore throat.

[reweshawyz]

lol

and BTW do they realize 4 door coupe is a contradicting statement..

ZIZOU

[lambottizedna]

How true. Coupe is French. We speakah da Engleesh.

[reweshawyz]

yes it is french... but that's not the case.

[edy4eva]

You mean an oxymoron

[pinkblue222]

stunning looking car...

in australia... mercedes-benz used to go under Daimler Chrysler...

but now it is known as Mercedes-Maybach Pacific (sumtin like that)

[longde]

They didn't show the 126 coupe!! they skipped it!

[hastertthebastard]

That's my favorite also - but the W140 coupe isn't bad looking and it got passed up as well - maybe using the e-class coupe from the 90s instead helps make the new cls look even better (and helps us forget the "over-engineered" greatness of the 80s and 90s) Cheers

[Kranbone]

I had the option of buying the W140-320CE (highest version in AU) but choose not to. I don't regret it but I would like my next car in say 10-15 years time to be the CLS. I don't mind not having a manual, I always prefer a special gearbox, and one with 7 gears would suit me fine :D

[JMSBRK]

i luv this baby and i have her! =)

[outrun2outnow]

...unfortunately the STAR is missing on the hood...

[migrapolis50]

The EB112 was the first 4-door coupe... Hehe.

[zimzam45]

No. The EB112 was a Convertible. Mazda said the RX-8 was the first 4-door coupe, but it was to where the doors could only be open if the driver or passenger door was opened first. (The door was small and handle could only be accessed once front doors were opened)

[amanthapar]

yeah crysler did not buy mercedes. they just have agreed to trade assests etc.

[SWicked50]

Chrysler did not buy mercedes . . .

Mercedes was originally Diamler-Benz then split to form Diamler Chrystler but they still share factories and assets, they also retracted their production budget cut of 1996 and the CLS is the first new model to benifit from that so hopefully mercedes will return to all its glory from the W124 days

[alex12342011]

Only new mercedes that doesnt look like a chrysler, since chrysler bought mercedes.

[1targa]

Yes, and Fiat ownes NASA...you are sadly mistaken if you would think a benchmark would be taken over by a 3rd rate crap-car company.

M-B OWNS, as in OWNS Chrysler, which it will soon DUMP off the side of a cliff...osmosis from the K-cars nearly killed MBZ quality, but I ALWAYS feel better a few minutes after I throw up.

[TheNICKMAGIC]

@1targa ES UNA FALTA DE RESPETO QUE UNA NEGRA INMUNDA SE SIENTE EN UN MERCEDES, A QUE HEMOS LLEGADO.

[ubuntunoobz]

@1targa lmfao u call fiat a 3rd rated crap-car company and say Mercedes will dump Chrysler.... fiat bought Chrysler lol you can predict the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[whattheheck1000]

@1targa i hate chrysler... they are the s**ttiest cars in the usa, and they are still s**t to this day. good on Mercedes for giving the proverbial FU to Chrysler and the inevitable rebound of quality that resulted!

[jwatwater]

@1targa

Benz dsnt own Chrysler any more :D

[goal56]

A wonderful car to drive...Just awesome!

[ijaen]

This commercial is brilliant, notice how you always hear 2 thumps when they close the doors almost at the same rate and they they focus on the 4 thumps on the CLS...*thump* *thump* *thump* *thump*

Brilliant.

[stingr4y]

best car from germany that exists

[jerga2002]

One of the most beautiful cars of the world, simply awesome!!

[bsb30000]

[wawiebeastman]

[nigga1981]

Germano Mosconi

[WLO18]
