Boston Mercedes Dealer Raves About Success Of Facebook Contest

A recent Facebook and Twitter challenge by Mercedes-Benz sent two fans home with a new model by Mercedes-Benz that will not be available until this fall at Boston Mercedes dealer lots in Massachusetts: Mercedes C-Class Coupe. The all-new 2012 model is even more stylish, modernized and appealing than its C-Class predecessors. 45,000 to St. Jude Children's Hospital as part of the event. Todd and John's Tweet coach, Pete Wentz, is an active supporter of St. Jude Children's Hospital and chose the charity to be the winning team's beneficiary. The contest, which was ran entirely through Facebook and Twitter, required participants to earn as many tweets as possible through a variety of different ways. These ways included getting supporters to tweet certain team hashtags and each driver's handle in every tweet. Other tweet points were earned for pictures tweeted of support signs from participant's hometowns; pictures tweeted by people the participants met along the route also earned participants points.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the entire Mercedes-Benz Tweet Race, which by the way is the world's first tweet race, was the fact that tweets were considered fuel for the vehicle. That is to say, participants could only continue on their route to Dallas if a certain amount of tweet-fuel was in their tweet-tank. Winning specific challenges would add to participant's tweet-tank, while not making nightly check points in time, not responding to the race director via Twitter in time and not abiding by speed limits would all deduct tweets from participant's tweet-tank. Being punished by local law-enforcement would also penalize participant's tweet-tanks. For more information on the vehicles driven in the race, which included the CL 550 4Matic Coupe, the E550 Cabriolet and the GL350 BlueTEC SUV, in addition to the S400 Hybrid sedan, visit your local Boston Mercedes dealer in Massachusetts. The Mercedes C-Class Coupe that was awarded to the winners is expected to arrive on dealer lots this fall and from all accounts thus far, is one of the most appealing vehicles Mercedes-Benz has ever produced.

The 430i is the sharpest car in its class thanks to precise steering and a beautifully balanced chassis, but it鈥檚 no more accomplished than the basic model. It ushers you down the road marginally quicker and makes a slightly fruitier, if somewhat contrived noise, but that鈥檚 about it. When it comes to the best all-rounders, there are more talented options out there, too. The Audi A5 and Mercedes C-Class cabriolets are both quieter cruisers and feel more upmarket thanks to their plusher cabins and premium trim. In this respect, the 4 Series range is beginning to feel a little dated despite the recent update. Other sacrifices are to be made if you go for the 4 Series Convertible - especially when it comes to practicality. The boot is a reasonable 370 litres with the roof in place, but problems arise when you want to drop it. Doing so sees luggage capacity shrink to just 220 litres. Compare that to the 380 litres the Audi offers even when the roof has been lowered, and it鈥檚 another minus point for the compromised BMW.
