But when our protagonist in this Mercedes-Benz ad for the new AMG A 45 is asked this very question, his answer is surprising\u2026 but then, in context, not really.<\/p>\n
Released in 2013, the Mercedes-AMG A 45 was one of the fastest hot hatchbacks money could buy at the time, and it\u2019s still one of the most powerful in its class today.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
This clever TVC plays on the notion of what would you really want if you were granted three wishes?<\/p>\n
Car enthusiasts and engineers loved the ad, so too did anyone who revelled at the speed and performance of the A 45 \u2013 a rare win for substance over style.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AsXfYw-7lnU” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”30px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”30px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
