Hyundai spoofs Clarkson with ‘Top Deer’ world cup ads
Dan Trent writes:As we’ve already found out, Hyundai is going all out in its role as a world cup sponsor. And, no, we haven’t even dented the supplies in our pub in a box yet. Though CJ was trying to get me to try the vacuum packed cockles. Mmm. Think I’ll stick to the usual […]

Is there some kind of sporting event on?
cj hubbard writes:
Oooh, excitement in the office today as this big box arrived, very clearly from Hyundai.
Inside are these really neat packaging bricks, which I’ve never seen before.
And an amusing letter. Hyundai – and Kia – in case you hadn’t realised, are sponsoring the 2010 football World Cup. I like the part about the pickled […]

Porsche GT2 RS vs BMW M3 GTS - who’s got the cheesiest promo vid?

To the point? Er, not quite VW…
Dan Trent writes:It’s a cheap shot but browsing the international VW media site I couldn’t help have a little snigger at the following press release about the R performance division.

Nissan Cube: on the rocks
cj hubbard writes:
This Nissan Cube is cool. Not in the sense that pr people and marketing folks keep telling us that it’s cool – what with its world wide cult following, or whatever. But because it’s actually been completely encased in ice. An ‘ice Cube’ if you like – and the pr people certainly […]

Uh-oh – brown envelope time…
cj hubbard writes:
As motorists we’re all the same, don’t deny it. As the postie retreats and you glance at the morning’s Royal Mail goodies, what’s the one thing you don’t want to see?

SEAT’s questionable love machinery
cj hubbard writes:
