Happenings: CYCLE & CARRIAGE BINTANG & MERCEDES-BENZ MALAYSIA SHOW OFF THE ALL NEW MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS COUPÉ TO ITS CUSTOMERS & GUESTS



You see, usually after the launch of a brand new car or variant to the media and then to the dealers it is the customers and potential people that get invited to the next round of events. In the case of the all new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe, long time Mercedes-Benz dealer Cycle & Carriage Bintang Bhd had invited their customers and a bunch of enthusiasts to a preview of the coupe at The Club, Saujana Resort in Shah Alam. 


I suppose it is also a chance for the CEO of Cycle Carriage Bintang, Mr Wilfrid Foo (above) and VP of Sales & Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, Mr Mark Raine ( seen below in the midst of introducing the E-Class Coupe's design & performance brief) to mingle with the customers and guests too. 

Cycle Carriage Bintang has been a Mercedes-Benz dealer for 68 years and if you look at the efforts done to 'pamper' their customers and guests, you can see why. But they do not stop there as they still mention after sales every time we actually meet up with these people. 

In terms of sales, and after sales capability, Cycle Carriage Bintang has 12 facilities across Malaysia of which 10 of them have service centres. This has allowed Cycle Carriage to be the largest dealer for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and the leading player in the Mercedes-Benz aftersales market within Malaysia. An impressive and extensive network that should be able to cater to the whims and fancies of the owners. Especially when it comes to after sales. That being said, they have the strongest Customer Satisfaction Indexrating in the Mercedes-Benz Malaysia Service Excellence Award 2016 which they hope to maintain obviously.


Anyway, back to the launch at Saujana, the guests there witnessed a detailed presentation highlighting the E-Class Coupe’s design and performance whilst entertained as well as being wined and dined. The guests also had the opportunity to get up close and personal with the Mercedes-Benz E200 Coupé AMG Line and E300 Coupé 1st Edition which were on display. 

The launch party was part of Cycle Carriage Bintang’s nationwide launch of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupé which includes similar events in Penang, Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru. But of course, what do you expect from a brand whose tagline currently is 'the best or nothing'?
