Launch of the new Mercedes S-Class
I've been lusting over this baby since I saw the spyshots over some random magazine - now that I attended the launch, I am now lusting lustfully over its silhouette. It was somewhat refreshing to be greeted warmly by Mercedes personnel at the doorstep, before being walked towards the S-Class - even though I casually dressed in a shirt, short pants and my fav bright green pair of Adidas. Strongly believing in the word 'paiseh', I admitted that I was only previewing the car... DUH! And as I continued oogling my soon-to-be lustful wife, the salesperson explained to me every single detail of the car... dead crisp description. So did not see that coming but you've gotta admire that ATTITUDE!
The door was even pulled open for me, with the other hand inviting me into the car. Clearly, buying the "World's Biggest Business Card" does come with outstanding service, even during pre-sale. "Go ahead sir, experience the on-board computer system for yourself" And I did, meddling with that 'mouse' near the driver's armrest. Cheryl & I then agreed that CIMB will see a few of these parked outside the porch in a matter of weeks time!
So, what's the fuss all about?! Yeah, you got served at a Mercedes showroom... big deal! Well, my point is to extend out a big sincere "FARK YOU" to those salespersons who blissfully ignored my presence, when I genuinely wanted to purchase a car which was """10x"""" cheaper than this S-Class. Yes, I'm talking about cars with a big 'H' on its badge. AND listen up.. when I ask for a brochure, I am NOT expecting a 1 page brochure, and I DON'T need to you to tell me the price of the cheapest model. How bout starting by handing me a 20page fully coloured brochure like what Merc did!
And what's with the prosperous figures?!?!
Note to self: To revisit showroom in 20-30 years time. Might just stick to the 1:24 Diecast model for now...
