How original are car advertisements?
It’s a fact that car companies keep a close eye on competitors and their new design(technology as well). Sometimes new models remind us of a car, that we have seen before. It can be similar lights, mirrors, body lines.. etc.
The same can be seen on ads that are used to sell these “original” cars.

Message from the auto industry in Detroit
Well not really from the auto industry, but from someone with a sense of (ironic)humor. Let’s face it, there is some truth in it.
Will things really change when the big three gets money from the government? We are skeptical, but we hope that all these top executives who got paid millions have learned from mistakes, and know where they are taking the U.S. auto industry.

Toyota Australia uses Ninja Kittens to sell Corollas
Toyota Australia has launched an ad campaign called Ninja Kittens. They have even set up a Youtube channel, so we are most likely going to see more kittens and Corollas in the near future.
This first video is called The Heist” and features ninja cat who beats up other cat-looking creatures to take their fish. Cats and dogs are often used in different commercials and usually make people say… OO so cute, lovely, so smart…. Lets face it, not this one. To be honest, this Toyota commercial is the worst ever to feature animals(if these can be called kittens). Let’s hope the next episode is little better.
Video: Meet the Beckers, episode 3
If you are new to Audi’s “Meet the Beckers” viral video campaign, then check out the episode 1 and episode 2 before you continue to see the episode 3.

Father who drove the Mercedes-Benz in the first episode is drinking whiskey with raw eggs, Billy has a strange thing for the Conan the Barbarian, little girls are putting a doll into the oven… the end is actually little creepy.
Mitsubishi Strakar L200: Secret
What we have here is a great print ad campaign for the Mitsubishi Strakar L200. It was done by an ad company called MSFT Partners in Portugal.
Pickup ads usually feature heavy loads that are put on the car to show how much they can carry. To show their towing capabilities huge trailers are behind them with big boats or construction materials. What this ad company has done is quit different by taking the viewer to the secret place/world(and if you are a fan of Indiana Jones type of movies, then you will love these ads).

In this new episode Jason and Billy take a drive to pick up the Thanksgiving turkey. Of course they are taking the Audi A4. It is worth the time just like the first one.
