Beautiful!

Honda "Waterfight" Advert

Honda Waterfight - Replacing harmful things with water

Honda Hate Something Advert

In 2004, Honda produced the Hate Something advert, which is still shown on British television now, usually immediately followed by a shortened version of the 2005/2006 Impossible Dream advert.

In 2003, Honda released its Cog advertisement in the UK and on the Internet. To make the ad, the engineers at Honda constructed a Rube Goldberg Machine made entirely out of car parts from the Honda Accord. To the despair of the engineers at Honda, all the parts were taken from 2 of only 6 hand assembled pre-production models of the Accord. The ad depicted a single cog which sets off a chain of events that ends with the Honda Accord moving and Garrison Keillor speaking the tagline, "Isn't it nice when things just... work?" It took 606 takes to get it perfect. This is one of my favourite commercials. Simply amazing!

Renault Megane 3

The french are planning in extreme secrecy the Megane. The new Renault will share Qashqai's platform. The front fascia will be inspired by the new Laguna and future Laguna Coupe, while the back is completly new for the Renault brand, reminding us of the Opel Astra GTC, and the first generation Megane Coupe, a very appreciated car at its time.

Fiat 500 Is The “2008 Car Of The Year”

I was right! As I predicted in my previous post! The new Fiat 500 has been named “2008 Car Of The Year” by European auto journalists. Although the results were initially planned to be announced on Monday, November 19, 2007, Dutch car magazine Autovisie, which is one of the founding publications of the “Car of the year” organization, decided to spill the beans earlier by posting the story on there website.
The 500 was awarded with 385 points by the 58 European journalists that participated while in second place we find the Mazda2 with 325 points followed by the new Ford Mondeo with 202 points.
