Hello,

This add is available on www.mercedes-benz.tv and has been chosen as one of the most popular MB-fims of 2010.
I still wonder who drives the G-class, it doesn’t seem to be a senior citizen.

Greetings,

Erik

Also I do speak German I can not make out the remark of the G-MB drivers. The male one of course is Franz Beckenbauer "The Kaiser" of German soccer fame and the lady ?
I have been listening to their remarks over and over, to no avail.
Can anybody enlighten me please ?

CHEERS!
 WITT !

Mika tries to pass Michael in his (...) pagoda. When he is finally successful he says: "Ah, wusst' ich's doch: Sonntagsfahrer. ...  Hehehe." Translation: "Ah, I knew it: Sunday driver. Hehehe." And on the English version of this add: "Aha, I knew it, Sunday driver. Hehehe."
Right after Mika finshed passing the pagoda he was overtaken by the G-model and says: "Oh, wow" in German, and "Oh, wow" in the English version.
The G-model driver (Franz Beckenbauer in the German version) says: "Wusst' ich's doch: Rentner!". Thanslation: I knew it: Retiree." In the English version the nice blonde yound lady says: "I knew it, senior citizen."

Had no problems to understand that although both languages (deutsch&englisch) are not among my top 100s.

Yes, Witt, you are right. The word "citizen" of hers is a bit hard to understand. At least for my poor skills...

.....thank you Achim, that clears thing up a lot !
The way I understood Beckenbauers remark after he passes Mika was: "wust' ichs' doch, Auslaender.....!
The right version is not to bad either and "politically correct !" (hmmmm)

CHEERS !
WITT ! :D

Yes, Witt,

... I know. Some of us Germans are sometimes known to be not absolutely "politically correct" with our German fellow citizens of Turkish descent... :o  and that's not correct and is unfair, of course.  :-[

However, in this case Franz was really absolutely "politically correct" in his statement. ;)
