Watched this earlier. It really is a well styled estate. Or should I say 'shooting brake?'...

In what way?
Because you associate them as boring, pipe and slippers etc.

If so, then I can tell you the C63 is a big angry animal, but tame if you like that sort of thing

If Swedish (or German) advertising rules are anything like the ones in this country, he won't have been paid a single pfennig, as the ad would be deemed "to encourage dangerous or reckless driving" and immediately be banned (as shown here, it's just a humourous video on PS's personal Youtube channel, no direct commercial connection to MB).

That's the genius of the advertising standards watchdog (or whatever they call themselves). It's perfectly acceptable to show people hooning about like nutters in a car or other vehicle in your promos if you're a purveyor of heavily sweetened carbonated sodas, but absolutely verboten to do the same if you're a car manufacturer
