Making its way across the United States, the Mercedes C Drive Tour will stop in 11 cities starting in San Fransisco on August 4 and will conclude in Dallas on October 14, 2007. The C Drive Tour will give thousands of potential customers across the nation, the chance to experience the completely redesigned 2008 C Class sedan for themselves. Unlike traditional ride-and-drive events, the C Drive provides its participants with the opportunity to drive both in a city environment as well as on a closed road course. This will allow for guests to put the C Class through its paces and fully experience firsthand the un-paralleled combination of handling, performance, and safety capabilities.

To further enhance this already exciting venture, MBUSA will be hosting its events at non-traditional venues such as art galleries, design studios, and airport hangers. At each site, guests will be accommodated by companies and services which complement the C Class lifestyle as well receive information on the new C Class and what sets it apart from the competition.

Mercedes-Benz 2008 C-Class marketing campaign

The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is no doubt going to be a huge success. To help catapolt this, Mercedes-Benz is launching an integrated marketing campaign - “C-for Yourself”.

Mercedes-Benz will be focusing on the personal driving experience, Innovative tools such as exclusive driving events and a Mobile Marketing Special support traditional advertising measures, Online campaign with a new 360-degree soft configurator, a host and interactive films and TV commercial with new brand ambassador Fernando Alonso.

Taking notice to this example online C-Class campaign, I think we are getting a peak look at the new MBUSA.com website!!!

Mercedes-Benz unveil 2 varients of the 2008 C-Class

Dieter Zetsche took the stage, unveiling to the world two new never-before-seen variants of the recently introduced 2008 C-Class: the Vision C 220 BLUETEC and the AMG-Mercedes C-Class DTM 2007.

Since the release date, more than 55,000 customers in western Europe alone have bought a new C-Class.

We predict the new C-Class will be a HIT here in the states as well. They need to bring the C220 Bluetec diesel over here to the Unites States as well. I have no doubt there is a market for a C-Class Diesel.

"The sophisticated four-cylinder diesel engine with BLUETEC emission control is a prime example of leading-edge, future-compatible technology, Our diesel strategy is an effective answer to the question of how to save fuel and, therefore, CO2, how to further reduce all exhaust emissions including NOx and yet still ensure effortlessly superior driving enjoyment. In this respect, we believe our state-of-the-art diesel concept is currently the best and most efficient solution available." - Dieter Zetsche
