BMW Just Publicly Mocked Mercedes. Absurdly Driven<\/em><\/a>\u00a0looks at the world of business with a skeptical eye and a firmly rooted tongue in cheek.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tend to judge car brands by those who drive them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s shameful, I know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it also turns out to enjoy some accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, I see more painfully arrogant driving from those in a BMW<\/a> than those in a Mercedes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which, peculiarly enough, might also reflect the people behind each brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My cogitations on this subject\u00a0were\u00a0stimulated by BMW<\/a>‘s recent attempt to denigrate Mercedes in a touchingly arrogant manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Twitter, naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was Halloween, so BMW thought it would insist that Mercedes<\/a>‘s vision of a superhero was, in fact, a BMW.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"BMW<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I worry about the basic premise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It strikes me that Mercedes drivers likely bought their cars because they didn’t want to buy a BMW or an Audi. (Or, I suppose, a Lexus.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ergo, perhaps they wouldn’t consider either of those German brands supremely heroic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet to drift to Twitter in order to take up an arrogant posture and belch at your rival was surely asking for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took Mercedes less than an hour to offer its considered, measured response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should you not have been aware, BMW has endured considerable mockery for how its cars have become greater around the grilles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Mercedes’s pithy response seemed to brilliantly reflect the public mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s always a temptation to mock a rival, especially if the rivalry has its bitter tinges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you’re going to do it–especially if you’re going to do it on Twitter–make sure that your mockery has a winning aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, you might get grilled. (My apologies.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
