"I am Mercedes Benz" commercial feat. Josh Brolin
Mercedes-Benz is launching a new campaign to make the marque more appealing to a younger generation of drivers. The campaign consists of three TV ads. The first features Hollywood actor Josh Brolin, star of Oscar-winning movie ‘No Country For Old Men'. The Brolin ad focuses on the 'presence' of the Mercedes-Benz brand, while films two and three will look at 'attraction' and 'ambition' respectively.

I like it. Very elegant and the music (from the soundtrack of the film "The Proposition" by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis according to a comment in youtube) is gorgeous.

	Nick Cave and Warren Ellis have done more soundtracks together? omg I need to find this. That voice sounds like someone else, I think Viggo Mortensen. (Reply to this)

	i would go for a mercedez, it would be a hell of a lot more classy than my neon. i like the ad though, and the music is really very nice. it's not as annoying as that commerical for the hyundai where the guy won't let the rich guy have his shitty accent for like one night for a million bucks. idiot.

	I love the Mercedes, but my God I hate car commercials like this. It worked for Clive Owen and BMW, but I usually just can't stand the whole "mellow-voiced philosophizing and bright lights in the dark" car commercials. Done to death. (Reply to this) (Thread)
