The Heinz ad had a Mercedes 309 van.

Yes, there's one. Question, is it a Diesel? (chances are it is).

The c123 in the smart electric ad. The W221 in the Peanut M&M's ad... I'm forgetting the rest.

There's 2 more! I am not sure if the 123 is a Diesel, as the commercial might not have been made in the US where most 123's are Diesel.

Then they either put a euro tag on it for the the filming in the usa, or it was a turbodiesel exported back to Europe. They were never sold there, only in the USA.

That's interesting info I did not know. HERE IS THE VIDEO, at 0:33 you can see the long turbodiesel badge. I guess everything is possible, even the Suburban in the EU.

Mystery solved, the commercial is filmed in LA. If you see across the street there is a building "Spring Tower Lofts".
I googled it and came up with the following: SpringTowerLofts

Makes me want to buy a 300D, not a SMART car. Which one would you want to take your coworkers out to lunch in? I, for one, hate getting into later model cars with absolutely no real rear passenger seat space. I'm no fan of hugging my knees because someone wanted to save 2-3MPG.

My neighbor bought a new Chevy sedan (Malibu or something like that) and about a year later she traded it in for a Toyota Corolla. When I asked her why, she said that the Chevy got horrible MPG. The Toyota is not much smaller, though. She mentioned mileage figures not much better than my 300SD. Granted, I pay $0.50 more per gallon.
