"There is a terrific energy at Mercedes-Benz Canada right now. Our employees, dealer network, and colleagues at Mercedes-Benz Financial services deserve a lot of credit for giving us so much to celebrate in the months leading up to Canada's 150th anniversary," says Brian D. Fulton, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Canada. "This national milestone inspired us to create CabriOCanada 150, a coast-to-coast media adventure that showcased our impressive lineup of cabriolets and roadsters against the backdrop of our country's stunning scenery. It's fair to say that we have much to be thankful for as we head into the second half of 2017."
