Good one, love the art direction and the whole story. Congratulations for the lion, guys! You deserve it.
What the hell does all this have to do with the car? It's PRETTY, and WELL DONE, but has ZERO to do with the benefits of the car. It's a bunch of design masturbation, is all.

WOOOW. I h8 it!!!!
outsmart me, if you can

I like it. Not very Merc, but perhaps that's the point. Trying to be less stuffy? I like the proposition - be selfish.
well, itz creative, i love it...but the question is....the ad is all about spending ur money to by this mercedes rather than to ur children...then why mercedes...why not the other cars? i mean, i couldn't find anything tht inspiered me to buy this Mercedes-Benz S-Class...

brief: make ppl blow cash on a car they dont need
ideation: make people realise that hoarding (saving) is stupid - the money they save will be spent for them if they dont spend it on themselves.
