Porsche during the Masters

Anyone else catch the Mercedes crash commercial being aired during the Master coverage?? About half way through there is a crash shot. The crash "cart" is sporting a set of Phone Dials, complete with Porsche crest center caps.

Missed that. Phone-dials are probably throw-away wheels over there too (although they shouldn't be).

I'll tell you what...I'm sure i'm not the only one that googled up that SL GT S after watching that commercial. That's a lot of car for $130K.

MBZ's ad agency was likely having a little fun - a competitors logo doesn't just accidentally end up in a commercial.

Im sure Merc doesnt even consider Porsche competitor .. I'll drive a Merc when i get too old and decrepid to drive my Porsche ..even then it would take some convincing.

Porsche makes a lot of money providing engineering services. I suspect the testing facility or the testing rig was built by Porsche.
