Careful… the ‘Repo Men’ are coming after your organs in their VW
Coming March 19th, Repo Men (which is not a remake of Repo Man, the awesome 80’s campy movie with Emilio Estevez, by the way) gives a creepy insight on what might be around the corner for us, and we’re not talking about the Health Care reform. No, in this future, a company called The Union makes replacement organs for humans, which is a scientific breakthrough a lot of people would welcome today. The downside of this is that if you don’t pay your bill, they... 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

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

All we can say is: good luck, Kathy. “We’re gonna un-pimp your auto.” Anyway, today we go back to 2006 and the excellent ad... Read More
Sunday ads: Peugeot 205 GTI, Bond style
digg_url = \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/01/27/sunday-ads-peugeot-205-gti/\\\\\'\\\\\\\\\; Today we introduce a new section: Sunday ads. Every sunday we will present a new commercial, vintage or contemporary, good or bad… The only rule: it must have a cinematic quality or make a reference to a movie. To kick things out, one of my favorites growing up in France: the Bond flavored commercial for the Peugeot 205 GTI. The compact hatchback was a hot ticket... Read More
