Not even close. Commercial was boring. The Santa Claus one last year was much better.
I think the car commercial MVP is Kia.

Within Mercedes demography they CRUSHED IT! If you're a boomer you got it. if you're a Prius driving millennial it's like who were those old guys!
Seeing that brought back memories of John Kay (Steppenwolf) live in Munich in 1969! I can't be sure but one of the bar fighters looks like David Crosby.

AMG GT C Roadster - About to pre-order
The issue MB has in the states, particularly as it relates to the heritage of the modern Roadster (the SL), is that it caters to the 60+ year old demographic. This car has *****, the commercial was good, but they missed the mark on a huge target audience who don't want to be lumped in with their grandparents if they buy a Benz

Hey,
I'm 70 years old and drive an SLS Roadster on the track at Daytona and Roebling Road.

I can see why the commercial might not appeal to the younger set. After all the SLS is an old man's car.....NOT.

BTW... I just watched the hyundai commercial and it was better.
