It’s not just because it’s good to see a car driven hard, doing rally-style jumps, crashing through windows and going sideways, that makes this TV ad for the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe so great. It simultaneously reinforces the M-B heritage of classy and handsome cars that has existed for decades, while also throwing in the unexpected: a dash of adrenaline. On top of that, it’s well shot and well edited.

Enjoy.
