C-Class TV Ads back in rotation?

I'm in the Dallas market, and I've noticed a return of C-Class TV adverts. They're running not only the Coupe commercial, but the original sedan spot (the one where the chick's irises turn into hearts), plus there's a new one for the Sport Wagon (something about Sippy Cups(?).

Saw each of these at least twice yesterday, and I wasn't even vegging at the TV that much (didn't watch a single bowl game). Anyone else in other markets noticing the uptick in these commercials?

Yep, I also saw the original C sedan ad yesterday. Mainly I've been seeing the anniversary ad with the line of Mercedes travelling down the nice twisty mountain road. The ad I used to like was the E class going through the carwash where the parents covered the little girl's eyes as the carwash "sucked" the MB back in for another "taste". If you noticed, that drying strip looked a lot like a large tongue .

You know, MarkL, I've seen that E-Class spot a billion times, and while I got the reverse drill, I never really got the tongue part, so I'm not going to say it...

He's all yours, tommy!

C32
Last night, while watching Oregon kick Colorado butt, was the first I had seen of those adds. I'm in the Portland (OR) market and they certainly caught my attention! Now if they would just show a C32 and clouds of bluish tire smoke, that would be cool!

I don't remember which game it was in but there was a C230 Sports coupe ad on last night for the Baltimore-Washington corridor .
