When
Academy Award Nominee Naomi Watts celebrated her 40th birthday in Los
Angeles this fall, her partner Liev Schreiber (“X-Men,” “The Manchurian
Candidate”) surprised her with a spectacular present; a Mercedes-Benz
ML320 BlueTEC. Liev and Naomi are among the actors and musicians to
discover the exceptional performance, efficiency, and high cruising
range of Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC models, the world’s cleanest and most
advanced diesels.
 In addition to Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts,
fellow BlueTEC drivers from motion pictures and television include
“Desperate Housewives” star Kyle MacLachlan, “Sex and the City” siren
Kim Cattrall, Academy Award Nominee and Golden Globe Winner Gary
Oldman, and “Phantom of the Opera” star and singer Emmy Rossum. “My
ML320 BlueTEC has all the power and luxury you’d expect of a
Mercedes-Benz, plus the efficiency and low environmental impact of an
economy or even hybrid vehicle,” says Emmy Rossum. “BlueTEC really is
the best of both worlds.” Also from the world of music, pop superstar
Gwen Stefani and her husband, musician Gavin Rossdale, have a BlueTEC
parked in their driveway, as does singer Josh Kelley (husband of
“Grey’s Anatomy” star Katherine Heigl).
Seven-time Grammy winning artist Alanis
Morissette chose the fuel-efficient Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC for the video
of “Underneath”, the first single and video from her latest album,
“Flavors of Entanglement.” In the video, Alanis is sitting at a bus
stop wearing a “Save the Earth” t-shirt and distributing fliers to
encourage concern for the environment. When a Mercedes-Benz E320
BlueTEC passes by, Alanis salutes the Mercedes driver in appreciation
for their environmentally aware choice. "Making green choices on a
local level is important in creating global change,” says Alanis. “I'm
glad that Mercedes-Benz has introduced a great option with BlueTEC.”
BlueTEC have also starred in some of the hottest
television shows and series this season, including “90210” (CW), “The
Amazing Race” (CBS), “Privileged” (CW), “Starter Wife” (USA Network),
and “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” (NBC).
About Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC
The BlueTEC wave began in October 2006 when
Mercedes-Benz introduced the E320 BlueTEC sedan; it immediately
captured accolades from consumers and critics alike and was voted “2007
World Green Car of the Year.” Now Mercedes-Benz has expanded the
BlueTEC product range with the introduction of three new SUV’s - the R,
ML and GL 320 BlueTEC - the first diesel SUV’s to meet the stringent
emissions standards of all 50 States. The term “BlueTEC” is derived
from the revolutionary AdBlue process that injects a reducing agent in
the vehicle’s exhaust line, thereby clearly reducing emissions.
