a marketing idea in Germany gets worldwide attention, for sexist themed parking
The spaces set aside for women are wider, well-lit, and closer to the exit, TheLocal reported, while those designated for men require the driver to skillfully maneuver the vehicle into the spot and avoid hitting cement pillars.
The mayor told Focus the parking policy is, above all, a publicity stunt to draw tourists' attention to the idyllic town of Triberg.
"Our city spends about 50,000 euros every year for marketing, and the parking action may have cost us 50 euros," Strobel told Focus.

"official vehicle of America(tiny little 3 over the last a)"
in 1992, Chevrolet sponsored the America's Cup yacht America3 and so were able to designate the Corvette the "official vehicle of America3 "
So it's a small little thing that might be overlooked when you read the big headline "Official vehicle of America". Nice advertising gimmick.

the Olympics mini Mini... 1.09 billion dollars of sponsorship gets some things past the "No Advertisement" rule
The International Olympic Committee has had a rule for a long time about no advertising or publicity by sponsors. Yeah, I bet they have a rule against performance enhancing drugs too... but since these R/C cars are on the field, I doubt that the IOC can pass a test that they followed that rule about advertising
"IAAF validates several different transporters. Yes, it happens to be the official partner of the London Games but there is no commercial delivery," he told a news conference.
(wow, this guy tells lies easily, he is relying on the "No visible Logo" technicality, like the shape, look, design, front, side, and back of the mini isn't instantly recognizeable and therrefore giving BMW Mini publicity, in violation of the rule)
"There is no link between the sponsorship and the coverage of the physical fact that these are mini Minis on the field of play," Lumme said.
The IOC's rule on advertising states that no form of advertising or other publicity shall be allowed in and above the stadia, venues and other competition areas which are considered as part of the Olympic sites."
"The Mini is an incredibly known globally, British icon. Again Rule 50 compliant. No logos," he said.
The London Games have received some $1.09 billion from sponsors wishing to be associated with the 2012 Olympics.

MINI’s owner BMW is, of course, a major sponsor of the 2012 Olympic Games and the cars are as much of a marketing tool as anything else, but a rather clever one in classic British fashion. The company is showcasing many of its zero emissions cars in conjunction with the event http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2012/08/06/mini-mini-electric-cars-enter-london-olympics/
In the past, motorized boxes have been used to tote javelins, discuses, shots and hammers from the field back to their throwers, cutting down on time (and volunteer exhaustion). BMW was among the handful of brands that managed to get an exclusive marketing deal in the Olympic Park, and in the heart of one of the most significant sites of the London Games as well. The opportunity gave birth to the Olympic “Mini Minis.” http://london2012.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/05/mini-minis-help-keep-field-events-on-track/
The Mini MINI R/C cars will be used at both the Olympic and Paralympic games, and they join a fleet of 160 full-size BMW series E Active models and 40 MIni E hatchbacks as part of BMW's own all-electric Olympic team. http://www.autoblog.com/2012/08/02/olympics-to-use-mini-cooper-r-c-cars-for-javelin-discus-retriev/
Buick is trying to get your attention... if their car making isn't getting your notice, maybe Shaq, Ving Rhames, or a beautiful blonde will
Now, if Buick would just go back to making a GSX, GNX, etc etc... they would not need funny commercials, they would have serious free publicity. Why don't they? The Caddy (whatever) is a Corvette in an expensive suit. Make a Corvette in a Buick body, and let it be cool, not stodgy.

Prada uses classic cars in this ad for it's clothes... it has a good variety... but should have chosen better looking women, I saw 5 today alone that would put these models out of business
thanks Aaron!
It's not surprising that fashion clothing for women uses classic cars, hot rods, or dragsters for advertising, it goes back to at least the 1960's

Castrol ads celebrating the world championship of the Shelby Daytona Cobras
Does this mean castrol was snake oil? Yeah, corny, but c'mon, you thought of it too I bet
Chrysler advertising tried really hard to hold onto the Hemi for advertising, it's sad
click on it to get the full size version, and you'll see that the first claim is an overhead cam Hemi that will get you 30 mpg... and the little words that make up the red car on the bottom has the word HEMI above the front tire
A picture is worth a thousand words, except when you are struck speechless
It is someones custom Dart Swinger. This full page ad doesn't tell me squat about this car... so I would guess it was the 1969 Autorama show concept car.For more GROOVY advertising of Dodges: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/02/blog-post_24.html
