Generally speaking, the season when you’re supposed to be jolly coincides with the season where you’re supposed to have your car ready and able to take on some pretty harsh weather conditions.
We’ve seen VW trying to get their customers ready for winter, and most recently we’ve seen Skoda not only offer health checks in the UK but also a wide array of clever winter accessories such as a foldable snow shovel or a ski and snowboard roof rack.
While that’s important in its own right, it’s always the basics that end up making the most difference when it’s snowing or raining heavily.
Mercedes took this idea and ran with it, while also figuring out that they weren’t going to make a very touchy-feely spot had they focused on what a kid might have to say about winter tires or the right type of motor oil for cold weather.
The wiper blades were a very good and obvious idea, and Mercedes actually had the kid show his dad a way for both of them to see the New Year’s Eve fireworks. So naturally they went outside and climbed into what looks like an entry-level C-Class, meaning that it doesn’t have any AMG exterior styling bits or anything like it.
So are the Mercedes-Benz genuine wiper blades the only ones that could provide “clear vision” in such conditions? Obviously not, but seen as how this is a their car and a their ad, we’ll still appreciate the creativity.
