Mercedes-Benz's Super Bowl commercial is a re-imagining of the classic "The Tortoise and the Hare" fable, but because this is 2015 it starts out with a group selfie. 

All these years later, the Hare is still just as cocky. The Tortoise, meanwhile, doesn't have to go slow and steady thanks to Mercedes.

The Tortoise jumps in a silver Mercedes and speeds to victory. The method is different, but the result is the same.
