Mercedes-Benz X-Class "First of a new kind" (2017) 1:05 (Germany)

A lot of metaphors are happening in this teaser spot for Mercedes' X Class of pick up trucks. That's right-- a Mercedes pick-up truck. The film was created entirely in CG. And while it is true you get peeks of the new vehicle here and there, this is far removed from your regular car spot with running footage over the same tired landscapes. I'm curious as to what the market is for an upscale luxury pick-up truck. Guess we'll find out soon enough.
