Kate Upton was hoped to be Michigan’s hottest export, but she sold her big-breasted soul to Mercedes. Turns out, she doesn’t like cars. She prefers a horse.
Kate’s career at Mercedes started at a car wash. Then she had a supporting role in a Mercedes CLA spot aired during the Superbowl. Both videos quickly dispelled worries by TTAC’s resident market analysts that the CLA might be the wrong car at the wrong price, and a death to the brand. The power of big chested blondes.
According to the Detroit News, the “Super Bowl commercial and an online-only teaser video with Michigan model Kate Upton had boosted the luxury automaker’s appeal with younger consumers.”
Yet, however, but: Kate herself does not seem to be convinced by the car, or any cars for that matter. Kate is one of those iPhone toting city dwellers that don’t drive, as the Wall Street Journal found out:
“Like many New York dwellers she sees no reason to have car now, and didn’t bother with them much while growing up in Melbourne, Fla. ”I have never had a car,” she said during a press conference today. “I saved my money for horses,” the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue covergirl added. A longtime equestrian, the 20-year-old Upton has been riding competitively and for fun since childhood.”
TTAC is trying to get an interview with the horse, but text messages to the stable have not been returned.
P.S.: The carless vixen manages to confuse even WordPress’s vaunted spellchecker. No wonder we are making so many mistakes.
This commercial needed more Kate and less Mercedes. Oh, and as CLA’s intended audience I’d rather be caught in a Fiat 500 than this abomination.
yea it sure is ugly, even the big breasts cant hide that. The a45 otoh is beautiful, oh forget about it
“big-breasted”
Not where I come from.
“big-breasted”
“Not where I come from.”
You’re from Hooterville??? Kate is a 34D and both are natural, actually. I prefer a ‘C’ cup, if she’s a petite bird around 100 lbs, so it depends. If she’s a size 8, then yeah anything below ‘Ds’ looks too small.
I didn’t notice the car!
What a coincidence, I would say the average TTAC reader also prefers seeing Kate Upton riding a horse rather than driving a car.
Depends on the smoothness or roughness of said road and the suspension of said car and the location of the video camera.
I think I saw the video to which you are alluding, and I concur.
She’d probably be wearing a sports bra while riding, lest her key assets droop in value.
Re: Confused spellchecker… the Spellchecker has become self aware! And it was apparently originally programed by JB & BS!
She grew up in Florida, and she never had a car? That does not compute.
Anyways, your spellchecker needs new glasses. Butt? Where?
With her looks she probably has never needed to even ask for a ride anywhere.
It must be fun to be Justin Verlander.
As a long time horse rider and owner, I have noticed that the majority of horse people are women and they tend to be better looking, more intelligent and better educated than average. Makes me wonder why so few guys ride.
NSFW Language. Also not safe for Honda Civic, Mitsubishi, and Subaru owners
Ray Wert hooked up with Kate during the Detroit auto show. I spoke with Ray’s mother and she said Ray is still being treated for the nasty case of Dongfeng he contracted.
