Irrelevant to advertising for a model that is yet to be launched. Drop it.
D. ECW, the rivals of Bercedez Meiz is rumored to be coming up with a similar new model vehicle with better features than Bercedez Meiz’s latest model in the market.
Opposite. Drop it.
E. The new model that is going to be launched in 16 months would be the most expensive model of its kind in the market.
Similar to A> Does not help us. Drop it.
