VIDEO: How Mercedes-Benz beats them all {Autoblog}
Jul 31st 2008 3:05AM While this is of course corny crap, it's certainly very well done corny crap. Keep in mind this isn't a commercial intended for the public. It's the kind of motivational video shown to dealership employees (hence the constant rambling about CSI) at training courses. In the right context with the right audience this will work.

NHTSA cites safety concern after crash testing smart fortwo {Autoblog}
Apr 3rd 2008 4:07PM Uhm, that is exactly what is measured in these tests, and where the Smart did exceptionally well.
