Grand Prize: The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class for a month

Dubai, UAE: UAE student Marzouk Abu Madi's wish to drive a brand new Mercedes-Benz C-Class for a month was granted last week, thanks to his @MercedesBenzME Twitter competition winning tweet on why he deserved to drive the latest version to graduate from the luxury German automotive manufacturer.  

The 23 year old Sharjah university scholar's #MBME tweet of "In 2010, I worked so hard to avoid a 'C' in class. In 2011, I'm dying to get into a C-Class", topped 64 other entries and 200 tweets from across the region for the keys to the brand new C-Class. The embodiment of Mercedes-Benz' new generation of cars designed for a new generation of people, the C-Class also tops the class in its segment for perceived value, safety, comfort and quality, thanks to more than 2000 new components since its predecessor.
