Mercedes-Benz USA and Saks Fifth Avenue Offer Exclusive CLS500 Holiday Gift Package





Mercedes-Benz USA and Saks Fifth Avenue Offer Exclusive CLS500 Holiday Gift Package

To Benefit Reading is Fundamental


Mercedes-Benz USA and Saks Fifth Avenue have partnered to offer a one-of-a-kind ultimate holiday gift package featuring the new 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS500. All proceeds from the sale of this package will benefit Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), the nation's leading children's literacy organization which provides new, free books and other literary resources to children each year. Saks Fifth Avenue's annual "The Gift" holiday catalogue will feature this exclusive gift package, providing the opportunity to bid on the eagerly awaited 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS500 four-door coupe while also supporting an important cause.


Bidding for the CLS500 holiday gift package begins at $75,000, to commence on November 1 and to conclude on November 11, 2004. Auction bids are placed by calling (toll-free) 1-866-695-7257.


Included in the package is a custom-designed European Delivery Rally Tour, which begins once the customer has picked-up their CLS500 from the Mercedes-Benz factory in Sindelfingen, Germany. The self-guided 6-day, 5-night European Delivery Rally Tour passes through storied and picturesque locales such as Germany’s Black Forest and the Austrian Alps and concludes in scenic Munich. First Class round-trip air travel from any U.S. city is included, as are hotel accommodations for two in exclusive venues selected for their highly rated service, amenities and cuisine.


Upon completion of the European Delivery Rally Tour, the winning customer’s Mercedes-Benz CLS500 will be transported back to the United States, and upon arrival its trunk will be packed with luxury “Travel Booty” to include; Louis Vuitton Keepall duffel; CSX Diamond Chronograph by Michelle Watch; Jimmy Choo Classic Hobo Bag; three cashmere throws by Amicale; an assortment from Saks' exclusive SKII skin care line; Cartier keychain; set of Assouline books in a leather Coach carrier; Smythson leather travel book, portfolio, and passport covers; Cole Haan sherling boots; MAG Poncho; Victorinox sweater; Swiss Army “Alliance Traveler” watch; his and hers Gucci sunglasses; and a Tumi suitcase.


The 2006 CLS500 combines the sexy, sleek and emotional design of a coupe with the comfort and access of four doors. Its trendsetting exterior profile is paired with exclusive interior appointments, aggressive performance and ground-breaking technology. The CLS-Class will arrive in the U.S. market early next year, and demand is expected to outpace supply.
