A new advertisement for Mercedes-Benz features voluptuous model Kate Upton in a skimpy outfit seductively blowing soap suds, and it'll screen during the Super Bowl. But critics and fans are accusing it of being too sexy -- or too cheap to be sexy. Though the full commercial will be revealed during -- you guessed it -- the Super Bowl, catch a sneak peek of the ad in the video below!
Comments posted on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page include "Hot girl, great car, and somehow I think this is the worst ad Mercedes has ever made," and "Cheap and stupid. Worst ad Mercedes made. Whoever thought of this needs to be fired!"

Speaking to Yahoo!, Forbes advertising blogger and brand expert Dean Crutchfield described the commercial as "certainly very risky," and said that Mercedes are "clearly working on a new strategy, by picking a lane that's not standard for a luxury brand."
He said that having "an ad that would be perceived as crass" could "potentially have a negative impact," but adds that "it stands out.. and you want to do that." Do you think that the ad is too sexy, or not sexy enough?

an ad isn't going to change anybody's mind. What numbskull with enough money to buy a
great car wouldn't buy one because of a dumb ad?. Also a very dumb question.
Based on the preview alone, it's not really that sexy. It may contain more, but if this is "too sexy" to you, then your prude-ometer is set WAY too high.
If it was an add to sell her sexual favors for a price then it is way to conservative.
Since the US Class spread is becoming more of a 2 class system (upper poor and people with more wealth shrinking the middle class... thanks to the Fed Res and B.O.), and since interest rates are next to zero so a larger spread of people can afford luxury cars, Mercedes has to cheapen its image to increase market share.
In addition, I have to say Kate Upton is a really pretty woman. TV needs to start bringing back the old hit formulas of pretty women back from the days of Spelling Goldberg Productions of the 1970's, formulas like Charlie's Angels, etc.; really pretty women, not too overbearing in personality, along with being very smart.
TV shows today are so neutered, the feeling you get while watching these shows and after watching them is like reading the morning paper or watching the morning news.
I still like her, and she has had some very sexy photo shoots.
