BMW's response: CHECKMATE

this works well...

Yes, but the winner plays Mercedes and that's going to be a quick and bloody game.

I'm not a car person at all, but I prefer Audi from the little I know. Certainly on aesthetics.

I love me some BMW, but I really think the one in that picture looks hideous.

And awesome billboards though, they really stuck it to Audi.

KellyC · 04-15-2009, 03:16 PM

Well done, BMW.

Charlatan · 04-15-2009, 03:53 PM

I think all car makers are in for a rough couple of years. Game over.

shakran · 04-15-2009, 06:20 PM

yup. Acura could make a killing right now, since their cars are every bit as nice and not nearly as expensive, except that they decided to uglify the lineup with that giant chrome . . .thing. . .on the grille.

Awesome ad, btw.

KirStang · 04-15-2009, 08:41 PM

LMAO. Great ad.

Capitalism at its finest--although I do wonder, is that a nuisance?

The photograph makes it seem bigger and much closer than it actually is. Lemme see if I can dig up the other shot I've seen of this...

Didn't Subaru (WRX) and __other__ (AWD car) have a battle like this for a while?

Martian · 04-15-2009, 08:54 PM

Nice.

I tend to think that advertising via billboard is a lost artform. Burma Shave, anyone?
