We're not immune to the err…charms…of Kate Upton, but at the same time, we can't really figure out how she became famous. Regardless, here she is tricking some guys in football jerseys into washing a new Mercedes-Benz CLA Class. Presumably it's hers.

The video is a new Super Bowl ad from the brand that claims to seek The Best or Nothing, and while we're not sure a pinup girl and a front-wheel drive compact four-door coupe quite meet that mark, we're sure the ad will be a hit with most of the beer and brats Super Bowl crowd.
