C Class in Men In Black II

Hi Gang,

I saw the trailer for Men In Black II this weekend and it was so cool to see that Mercedes slotted a C Class sedan as Will Smith's new ride. Definitely check it out at Quicktime.com.

At least Mercedes is getting more aggressive in product placement. I think it will boost sales. Love that glimmering sleek black!! I wouldn't be surprised if it was an AMG. The clip was too fast to tell though, but the engine sounded pretty throaty.

Saw the trailer too, liked the line about the fake driver when it's being remotely controlled.

Regarding the sound - most of the time the sound is redubbed in the studio, most of the time they don't even use the same type of car for engine noise. I also love when you hear squealing tires on snow and dirt.

Will Smith's ride in this movie is a new E-class W211, not a C-class W203.

You guys have better eyes than I do....

Great call out. It was nice to dream that it was a C Class.

But the bottom line is that it's a Benz.

ashley judd's ML is everywhere in the movie ... at one point she rolls it and says that she is saved by fate (actually fine german engineering) ... any in the end to replace the ML ... new c-classe.

That's a little redundant, aren't all Benz drivers fake anyways?

No, I don't think so... I've heard that Benz techs are fake though (at least my tech is)

When does "Men in Orion Blue" come out? That's the one that I'm really waiting for. Of course, it'll be better than MIB.

LOL@tommy

Sad to tell you that the real title will be "Women in Orion Blue" and that the follow-up will be titled "Men in Brilliant Silver"

You could win:

Two first-class round-trip tickets to Los Angeles
Two nights hotel accommodation
Two tickets to the premiere of Men In Black II
VIP dinner on the night of the premiere
Limousine transportation from the hotel to a VIP dinner and the movie premiere
I would hope it is a Pullman or something of the like .

Going to move this to the the 211 forum.

I've seen the "Men in Orion Blue" in Las Vegas, pretty good show. They also help Intel sell Pentium chips.

Check 'em out at:
