In yet another brilliant marketing move, Mercedes has chosen to sponsor the always queer impressive band Motley Crue, outfitting the band with their own personal E-Class models, as well as Vito Wagons for their equipment and luggage.

According to Horst von Sanden, managing director of the Mercedes Car Group in Australia:  “The Mercedes-Benz E-Class offers extreme comfort and optimum style suited to a group with a global reputation. Both the Mercedes-Benz Viano and Vito Wagon are recent additions to our range and have proved to be popular amoung many groups, from rock stars to families.”

Nothing screams Mercedes more than a has-been group of drag queens grabbing their balls.
