    Granted these are Japanese commercials, so the video game property pimping Mercedes may not seem that odd, but for the rest of the world, i don’t know too many Mercedes drivers who sit down and play Wii.

      Maybe I’ve watched WAY too many Japanese commercials, but these seem pretty “normal” compared to what I’m used to seeing.
