This is the clear verdict that the research has confirmed. Fascinating products, engaging experiences and strong aspirational values seem to be the key drivers behind this imagery: the results also show the increasing awareness and interest of the young Indians towards the automotive category. The best or Nothing was the motto of our founder Karl Benz over a century back- and it holds true for us even today. In 2013 as well, we will continue to excite the fans and admirers of the Three Pointed Star in India.”
