When was the last time you just went for a drive? (Automotive Advertising)
Here's a new commercial for the VW Golf. I actually thought it would be American made, but it was created at DDB, London, and is just stunning. The music, and the images create that night drive feeling, when you're driving around, just for the sake of driving. A time to motor on the streets that are so crowded during the day, but are so quiet and peaceful at night. It's not about going as fast as you can because it's empty. It's about enjoying the drive because it's you, and no one else.
Visit www.night-driving.com to see the great website that goes with this campaign.

Spotted: 2007 Ducati 1098 S Tri Colore (Automotive)
If you are a real motorcyle or Ducati motorhead jump over to this website here that has embedded youtube videos of one senior designer , Gianandrea Fabbro, giving an impromptu speech on the bike's creation (the 1098S in general and not the specifically tricolore), from "paper to the street."

Peugeot's Ad is Magic (Automotive Advertising)
This is the type of car ad I'm looking for these days. Innovative, and very creative but fitting perfectly with the message of the car it's advertising. It's a European ad, which isn't too much of a suprise. From the beginning it has a very Euro feel. Something about it just radiates emotion and style that often comes from across the pond campaigns. The Peugeot 1007 and Peugeots in general aren't sold here in the U.S. which may allow for more risk taking when it comes to marketing, but either way, bravo, bravo.

Absolut's New TV Campaign is Awe Inspiring (Advertising)
Another non-automotive tv commercial for all of you. It's just too damn good not to share.
I advise visiting this site (http://adpawn.ovh.org/) to see the other tv spots and print ads for the campaign.
Oh Good God Green STi!! Nooo (Automotive)
Edited 5-24-07

I saw this on the road yesterday. I don't know if it's cruel of me to share it, or my duty so that such injustices don't happen again. You can be the judge.
After some discussion with my NASIOC.com buddies, it has been deicded it is a WRX TR with an STi wing. I apologize for my mistake, but the title rolls off the tongue a bit easier with the STi I think.
