But when our protagonist in this Mercedes-Benz ad for the new AMG A 45 is asked this very question, his answer is surprising… but then, in context, not really.
Released in 2013, the Mercedes-AMG A 45 was one of the fastest hot hatchbacks money could buy at the time, and it’s still one of the most powerful in its class today.
AMG had already established itself as a maker of booming, rear-drive V8-powered sedans, so when the all-wheel-drive A 45 seemingly came out of nowhere, it still held true to all the AMG brand promises. Which is to say, it drove like it had just been shot out of a cannon.
This clever TVC plays on the notion of what would you really want if you were granted three wishes?
Car enthusiasts and engineers loved the ad, so too did anyone who revelled at the speed and performance of the A 45 – a rare win for substance over style.
