(1888PressRelease) February 04, 2012 - Calgary, Alberta - Today, Arnold Smith, Lone Star Mercedes-Benz General Manager, announced Ben Christensen from Calgary as the official winner of the "Why Do YOU Want To Drive A Mercedes-Benz?" video contest. With his win he claims the grand prize of a trip for two to the AMG Driving Academy in British Columbia, where students learn advanced driving techniques in a closed course environment, and get to experience driving some of the top Mercedes-Benz models available.

Participants were invited to submit videos that answered the question posed by the contest, which were then posted to the Lone Star Mercedes-Benz Facebook page for public viewing. The public were invited to vote for their favourite video by "liking" it. "We left the creative element completely up to the contestants," explained Smith, "and it's been great to see some of their personalities shine through with their creations. The fact that the entrants are both male and female and represent a wide age-range once again reinforces the universal appeal of the Mercedes-Benz brand."

Ben Christensen, a long-time Mercedes-Benz enthusiast, received 452 likes for his contest video submission, allowing him to clinch the prize. "His passion for Mercedes-Benz really shone through in his video," commented Lone Star Mercedes-Benz Sales Manager Wayne Desrosiers. "We really enjoyed watching all of the videos - it would have been way too hard to pick a winner so we are glad the public did it for us. Everyone at Lone Star is very excited for Ben; he is going to have the time of his life at the AMG Driving Academy."
