Viva Commerce! (#20)
Dear Mercedes-Benz,
Your latest spot for the C Class on the eye of hell opens with the following:
300 horsepower is fast.
400 will take your breath away.
That’s why we gave it 451.
Sorry, but I’ve just got to ask: why exactly did you give it 451?
Do you want me to lose control of the vehicle and get myself killed?
Are you trying to belittle me? Oooh, I don’t think you should buy this car. It’s much too powerful for little old you. You might hurt yourself.
Maybe it’s your idea of a dare: I just bet you can’t drive this car without killing somebody.

Anyone who has to ask why 451 HP obviously has never driven 451 HP. Drive one and then you will know why.

Thanks, but I think I’d rather hang on to my sense of mystery and wonder about it.

451 is interesting – 451 Fahrenheit is the temperature that paper ignites. Coincidence?
