Talking Mercedes using phone dial rims on 2015 chassis

Okay, I may have overstated it a LITTLE. Its not an actual Mercedes but rather a chassis they are crashing into a 2015 Mercedes... I happened to notice in passing this evening on television that in the new Mercedes commercial. They are using a set of phone dials on the sled. Too bad for that as well because they look to be in fantastic shape.

maybe MB is trying to insinuate that most MB crashes are T-bones by Porsches...

looks like a total Photoshop, the angle of the wheel on the sled is all wrong.

Not at all. They use that same crash rig for testing many different models.

Darnit! Randy, you beat me to the punch by about 6 years... well played... haha

However I do appreciate the insinuation that I would have the need (or ability) to photoshop it. I attempted to find the commercial on the web, but to no avail...
