If you haven't already heard, Mercedes fans everywhere are in for a huge treat next month. Mercedes-Benz will have a 60-second ad at the New Orleans Superbowl introducing the automaker's brand-new CLA-Class, an affordable luxury offering that we think Americans will welcome with open arms.
Of course, having Kate Upton and Usher along for the ride can't hurt, either! The ad will feature the superstar and the supermodel enjoying a night out with the CLA-Class. In Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Steve Cannon's words, the commercial is "a tongue-in-cheek depiction of how far a person might-or might not-go to get their heart's desire."

We're very excited to see the ad, and for the CLA-Class to get a little more exposure. Pictures of the new luxury vehicle were leaked a little while ago, but we're dying for more information! We can't wait to see the model in action, looking out for the details we already know about: Mercedes Front Architecture, or MFA, a new Mercedes front-wheel drive platform we can expect to see on additional new models. We'll also be keeping our eyes open to feast on a flowing exterior design that reminds us of the classy CLS-Class with a rounded, yet aerodynamic body styling (and which obviously takes some inspiration from the Mercedes Concept Style Coupe, pictured above). With interior styling similar to the A-Class (which is not available in the United States), we think this four-door vehicle will blow away American drivers who have been waiting for a new Mercedes-Benz entry-level luxury car to come along. (And who are we kidding…it will blow away Mercedes dealers like us, too!)
We know there are many Mercedes enthusiasts like us in the area of Kissimee. Mercedes-Benz is topping off a phenomenal sales year with some very promising developments for next year, and we can't wait to see what 2013 has in store for the automaker.
