Sunday Ads : Old Spice will rip your face off
.. and make you ride a cool motorcycle. Yes, it is a tough act for Old Spice to follow the hugely successful The man your man could smell like campaign (“I’m on a horse”). We’re not sure if this new direction will do the job, but it’s pretty creative and weird. And there’s a cool motorcycle. Give us your thoughts! Watch the video after the jump. Read More Read More
You could have bought your own A-Team van replica from Picture Car Warehouse for $15,000!
“I love it when a plan comes together.” Hannibal A replica of the A-Team’s iconic mean of transportation needed to be built for a pilot (yep, a pilot, as in “the show could come back on TV” !!), so Ted Moser and his team got to work and assembled a correct replica of the van. Beside a few modern components such as an iPod dock and an on-screen navigation system, everything is period correct, from the hand-painted turbine wheels to the awesome reel-to-reel... Read More

Sunday Ads: a Skoda made out of cakes!
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/05/18/sunday-ads-skoda-cakesunday-ads-skoda-cake/'; Skodas have long suffered a bad reputation, but ever since the brand has been bought by VW, things are looking up.

Speed Racer: new Italian TV spot
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/04/20/speed-racer-new-italian-tv-spot/'; This new trailer brings us more images, including the Mach 6 transformation AND it’s very cool to see it in Italian. It really feels like the movie will be a music-video paced visual overdose. Weirdly enough for a flick that seems targeted to a younger audience (try the toy section of your local Target store to see what I mean), it’s rated PG. Oh well, as they say: dal 9 Maggio Al...

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
Sunday Ads: Cadbury “Airport trucks racing”
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
