"Reincarnation" of a Mercedes - MB commericial
Very emotional. The car watches its life pass before it.

I remembered we had a discussion over this a few months ago, and I thought for technicality's sake, the poor car should've come back as a W211. The evolution of the models went W114/115 -> W123 -> W124 -> W210 -> W211. The W204 is a spur of the W201, which is the daddy of the C-class.

Maybe the reincarnation class depends upon how well the car ran during it's previous life . . . .

That's amazingly well done. Nearly made me shed a tear for an inanimate object. Then again, I can't remember a Mercedes commercial that wasn't top notch.

I've owned W114/W115 cars for decades, and this commercial still brings tears to my eyes, whenever I see it.
I can really relate to it.... Makes me want to keep my 71 black on black 250C forever! I've got pictures of my daughters standing in front of some of the old 220Ds when they were just a few years old, now they are in college.... Or sitting in the driver's seat..... Jim

I don't think that a car has a soul, but it is an inseperable part of and represents the work of the people who designed it, built it, owned it, and repaired it. In any event, this was a very emotion-stirring commercial.

There was so much effort and time carefully put into each Mercedes Benz and these cars were built to a standard and not a price. That to me is what gives them a soul! You rarely see owners getting their pictures posing with anything else.

Personally, I would be pissed if I was a w115 and came back as a C class. I'd expect to be at least an E!
