Mercedes-Benz Island is now live in Second Life. The multisim build does the standard test track thing that other car companies have already pioneered. The main sim, located in the center of the island, features a small concert area located outside of a virtual dealership, an interactive tour, and a couple of freebies thrown in for good measure. (I got my free Mercedes Racing outfit. Did you?) .
The most interesting item in the dealership is a cloaked new C-Class with a sign indicating that it will be revealed on March 16Th. Hopefully once it is unveiled, we can all get one to drive. If not, I say we all bring some Scions over to the island and try out the test track.
1. Everyone's jumping on the bandwagon...but what makes this any different? What has Mercedes done to set themself apart from the rest? I think that Motorati Life has already set the standard...it seems a bit redundant to jump into SL and just unvail a new car.
