Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
Check out this new commercial by Mercedes-Benz touting the safety features of its car. Whether you believe it or not, the creativity of whoever produced the video makes you smile… it shows two guardian angels having a chat, and it’s revealed that one of them has a “dream job”, the guardian angel of a Mercedes-Benz driver.

Ya Ya, u r correct! Even a Proton driver got an Guardian angel, it won't be safe either.—>except for Proton Exora which "has an Euro NCAP of 4 stars"?
But who knows, let those Guinea Pig owner drive first and let them tell us about its safety.
guinea pig?

Nakal doesnt know about cars I think. Car is still car.
What are the differences of Merc and proton? You think Merc is made up of 10 inches of steel and proton is made of plastic?
They are both using the same material dude… jesus christ. The differences are the structures and the quantity of each different materials combined + some engineering and architectural skills.

Guys, it's way out of the topic discussion here. Be fair and let the true drivers give the opinion.
But this commercial is briliant.
mercedes as usual, very creative.
Last time Malaysian carry their families in a van/car with no safety features and drive really fast and reckless, met with an accident and all 3 generations on board died on the spot.
Now Malaysian carry their families in a better safety featured van/car but still drive really fast and reckless, met with an accident and all 3 generations brain dead or comatose somewhere in a hospital hooked to a life support for months or maybe years. Which one is better? Something to think about.
Clap Clap CLap
And y must pull proton into each discussion. getting very sick already.
