I wonder who came up with this idea first...its like they all used the same ad agency. it seems weird that subaru mentions audi and bmw in their ad

the Bentley one is great

i saw a suby ad that says "with 300hp we done need a made up character called a fast to sell our cars" I hate negative advertising. those ads that you posted, joshy, are cool though. Makes that even worse that the GTI and STI arent in the same class.

"Born from Jets" is still the worst slogan ever.

Confusing... considering Subaru took 7th in the international engine of the year competition. BMW took 1st, 3rd and 6th while VAG took 2nd and 5th.

Take a look here for previous years: http://www.ukintpress.com/engineofth...revious04.html
Note how many times the letters BMW show up. Click at the top for results and you can see how poorly Suby really did, and BMW and VAG taking top honours in most individual classes and BMW taking overall.

Suby is funny... claiming international engine of the year. They took 1st in the 2.0 to 2.5L class.

The BMW one and Subaru ones actually look like they could be real...not so much the Audi. Only thing with the Subaru and Audi ones is that they probably wouldnt put them in a magazine with layout...no?
