Sure there's an appeal. It destroys the Teutonic image of an uptight German - which Zetsche isn't - he's Turkish - and plays down to the "I could care less Americans" watering their lawn and at soccer practice.
That's what's annoying - Dr. Z makes a formidable ass of himself at his own expense - and what do we learn? That as consumers, we look like we could care less. The commercials really don't bring out the enthusiast in me. I think they sort of talk down to me. The minivan crash test spot is awful; VW has it down better with their actual victims in a crash spots.
On another note the Porsche Turbo Cayenne commercial at the kids' party with the sad clown is
brilliant!
