    Mercedes-Benz New Mercedes A-Class #YouDrive Campaign

    You may recall last autumn’s Mercedes-Benz exciting and innovating campaign to introduce its new A-Class line up to the U.K. audience. It was in October of 2012 that the car maker began to drive what Brand Channel called “Social TV Innovation” with its Twitter #YouDrive campaign. The campaign took place during the popular X-Factor television series and gave viewers/Tweeters the opportunity to interactively decide the outcomes of a plot line of a series of introductory Mercedes A Class adverts. The campaign was designed to take advantage of a new generations’ comfort level with social media in general, and Twitter specifically, and to involve them with the brand. That they did, with the original video receiving over four-million views on the Mercedes A Class YouTube page. The campaign started a buzz about the A-Class that continues today.
    Mercedes has now announced that that it is continuing the campaign through the summer. Viewers can once again become a part of the creation of an updated and revised series of new adverts. The campaign has already kicked off with 10’ adverts to tease the latest creations and create excitement and anticipation prior to the full launch on 29 June.

    The campaign will then build throughout the summer using 40’ and 60’ TV adverts, and 10’ and 40’ cinema adverts using summer blockbuster opening weekends to movies like “Man of Steel” and “Pacific Rim” to garner even more attention. There will be additional marketing pieces on internet sites like YouTube, MailOnline and Evo.

    The refreshed campaign will include scenes from the original #YouDrive from last autumn, along with new scenes and plot lines that will be decided through Twitter activity. The media plan is to engage the users of the social media giant to convert them to test drives and ultimately sales of the Mercedes A-Class line.

    The Marketing Director of Mercedes-Benz UK had this to say: “The new A-Class represents a new younger, more dynamic Mercedes-Benz brand, which is reflected in this campaign. It’s a modern Mercedes-Benz that encourages people to do what we know they enjoy. In doing so, we hope to really cut through, and create a positive, lasting impression on their view of the brand.”

    Mercedes has positioned their brand as an innovative leader in automotive technology and engineering and is carrying that theme through this cutting edge marketing campaign. Look for it on a television, cinema and computer screen near you.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
