digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/04/21/speed-racer-trailer-4/'; And again, another Speed Racer video! There’s definitely a Tron feeling to Speed Racer. So many neons on the buildings, the tracks… and look at that big rig! No element is left without a splash of color or some graphics.

digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/04/20/sunday-ads-audi-keychains-commercial/'; Updated: now with the video! (oops…) A really good and funny take on the Audi logo!

The 5 Best David Hasselhoff’s music videos (feat. KITT)
digg_url = 'WEBSITE_URL'; When looking for the VW ad with The Hoff, we stumble upon some of his greatest music moments (like the Limbo Dance song, and we laughed so hard we had to show them here. Well actually, sometimes we had to stop watching or skip some parts to make it bearable, but still. Surprisingly, KITT is part of the action in most of them, which made us wonder what kind of publicity move that was… So if you’re ready, click on “Read more”... Read More
Aston Martin DBS in Quantum of Solace
digg_url = http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/04/16/aston-martin-dbs-in-quantum-of-solace/'; We’re not too keen on using Autoblog as a source so often, but they do have great articles, and we like to share some of them with you. Tuesday, they posted two “spy” videos from the set of Quantum of Solace, the next James Bond. They don’t show much, but it’s quite fascinating to see the apparatus the production has to install on the Aston Martin DBS to shoot... Read More
Official Audi R8 / Iron Man TV spot
Spanish people have been granted an extra TV spot where the deal between Audi and Paramount Pictures is clearly shown (it’s also a webspecial in other countries). They exploit each other’s product. When Audi promotes its supercar, Iron Man gets some exposure; when a trailer is shown, the R8 appears. It’s Co-advertising at its best. The ad mixes footage from Iron Man and some recycled bits of the first Audi R8 (we covered it in January). It probably didn’t... Read More

digg_url = 'WEBSITE_URL'; Okay. We already shared some ads with you guys this week: the Hoff and Heidi Klum for Volkswagen, and the newest Iron Man TV spot. Now we’d like to share this Cadbury ad we first saw on Autoblog. We called it “Airport trucks racing” because it describes it perfectly. Not a single piece of chocolate during the whole video, but awesomely customized airport vehicles laying some rubber down (better than KITT My Ride? One of Queen’s... Read More
Das Auto: the VW video with the Hoff
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/04/11/das-auto-the-vw-video-with-the-hoff/'; We finally found the new VW TV commercial with David Hasselhoff ( the one we told you about two days ago), and I realized I had misremembered the video (seen just once on TV): he actually start singing by himself, when Max, the black Beetle, asks him what’s new. Max makes fun of him when David goes on and on about of succesful Volkswagen is around the world, reminding him that he wasn’t. That... Read More
Disney/Pixar officially announce Cars 2 for 2012
digg_url = 'WEBSITE_URL'; I don’t know for you, but for us, despite being an animated movie, Cars ranks among our cult car movies. The quality of the animation, the depth of the details, the quirky ideas, it all comes together beautifully. Personally, I really liked the enormous amount of research behind it and how they manage to show so much about the car culture, and they did it in such a great manner that the movie is enjoyable for the hardcore car freak, as well as...

Das Auto: David Hasselhoff and Heidi Klum endorse VW
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/04/09/das-auto-david-hasselhoff-and-heidi-klum-endorse-vw/'; David and the talking car Updated 04/11/2008 Yep, The Hoff loves talking to a black car. And singing. No wonder he accepted to be in the latest VW ad campaign “Das Auto” then, since he does both in. He’s being interviewed by Max, an old but shiny Beetle -a.k.a. the original volkswagen, “the people’s car”-, who reminds him how succesful... Read More
