Default Properly Confusing!!!!

last week, when i went to view my new car....we were cruising down the M40 and came up alongside a brand new transporter lorry carrying 6 of the all new subaru impreza.

nothing strange about that i know, but when i looked again there were 3 of these horrid cars on the top, but the 3 that were underneath were UPSIDE DOWN

they were somehow attached to the underside of the top row...but a few things have confused me since, and i want answers!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) How the fuck do they get these cars on and off the lorry??
2) does having a car upside down cause any problems? i'm thinking fluids going where they shouldn't?
3) how are they attached?? couldn't see any big straps or owt.

it might have been daft but it got you thinking of the cars & also got others trying to find out so it has to be a good bit of advetising

Subaru need more than a massive marketing stunt to try and sell cars that ugly.

Whatever were they thinking of when they designed it?

this was at my local subaru dealer the other day its to do with there new 4x4 sytem claiming that it will make the car stick to the the road like glue ??? thats why they come up with the slogan [subaglue] all the cars fitted to the underside had all the engines and gearboxes removed but were complete and roadworthy apart from that . looked good from a distance just a shame that it was for subaru

cant be THAT bad a advert,,, CONSIDERING IT GOT YOUR ATTENTION AND YOUR TALKING ABOUT IT !!!

its only a bad advert if your talking about it and you think its a EVO or something


who remembers the "heat electric" adverts with the turtle and other animals

sales in central heating went up,,,,,, everyone thought it was for british gas

Subaru (UK) Managing Director, Lawrence Good, said: "This highly-visible campaign is already becoming a talking point and is an excellent method of getting our message across."
seems to do its job

subaru need all the help they can get as the new scooby is one mother fucking ugly motor i was simply shocked when i saw it, an end to the scoobys i say.

atleast now the later models will hold there value a bit better rather than drop quicker than a whores knickers.
