Family Dynamic
“From family and friends to valet parking attendants, everyone seems to have something positive to say about our car!”
When it comes to working parents Michael & Ana Mercedes Dellepiane and their 3 very active kids, their brand-new Mercedes-Benz GL450 is part of the family. From soccer practice to gymnastics training, triathlon sessions, grocery shopping, road trips, daily commutes and every twist and turn in between, there’s not a moment that goes by when they’re not using their car to the max. “This is our 3rd GL450,” says Ana Mercedes, mentioning they’ve been hooked on the brand since 2005. “Driving in Miami can get a little bit tricky at times and knowing that your car has the latest safety devices makes cruising with your family a bit more relaxed.” Relaxed…and stylish. “From family and friends to valet parking attendants, everyone seems to have something positive to say about our car,” says Michael. “Although we’ve test-driven many makes and models throughout the years, this particular vehicle has captured our loyalty…and our hearts!”
Savvy Drives
“The best compliment I continually get is people asking me if they can borrow my car for the weekend!”
For Neonatologist Dr. Alex Koetzle, who is the Managing Partner at South Dade Neonatology, his fleet of Mercedes-Benz are amongst his proudest investments…especially his 2012 CLS550. “I liked the style of the car even before I bought it,” he says. “I’d only seen pictures of it in magazines and ordered it before it was on the market.” Power, luxury, speed, space, comfort, safety, innovation and elegance are chief among Koetzle’s reasons for loving his car. And when it comes to the brand of his ride, loyalty runs deep. “I bought my first Mercedes-Benz in 1992 and haven’t changed brands since,” he says. “My wife got her first in 2006, and now my daughter is enjoying her car as well.” But why should the Koetzles have all the fun? “The best compliment I continually get is people asking me if they can borrow my car for the weekend,” he laughs.
Deal Makers
“No matter what Mercedes-Benz we’re driving, it’s sure to be a classy dream car experience for us and for our clients!”
As Realtor-Associates for Fortune International Realty, Doug Kinsley & Cristian Gonzalez Black know how important image is to sealing a deal. That’s why when they’re going back and forth between showings, they’re driving around in style. Doug owns a pair of Mercedes-Benz E350s and Cristian has an ML350. When it comes to transporting their clients around town, there’s never a dull moment. “One day I had a client in the passenger seat and I couldn’t figure out why he was squirming around,” shares Cristian. “I wasn’t sure what was going on until I realized that he accidentally turned on the heated seats at full-blast instead of the A/C— mind you, this was in the dead of summer!” Combined, Doug & Chris have been loyal to Mercedes-Benz for 40 years, driving everything from sedans to roadsters, coupes and SUVs for both business and pleasure. “No matter what Mercedes-Benz we’re driving, it’s sure to be a classy dream car experience for us and for our clients,” they say.
