  • BMW ‘Designed For Driving Pleasure’ advertising campaign

    From the original ‘The Ultimate Driving Machine’ and more recent ‘Sheer Driving Pleasure’ and ‘JOY’ advertising campaigns, the slogans and taglines BMW has come up with have been some of the most memorable in the industry. In order to keep its advertising fresh, however, BMW, like any other firm, needs to come up with new lines every now and then. Today, the automaker has announced it’s about to launch a new international advertising campaign that borrows from the past but also highlights a new focus on design. And the new slogan for the latest...

    Meteorites, One More Danger For Russian Drivers: Video

    By now, we thought we’d seen every possible type of Russian driving horror from the ever-present dashboard camera footage posted to YouTube. It turns out we were wrong, and there’s nothing in any driver’s education manual we’ve ever seen that prepares you for being hit by a...

  • Chrysler's 'Farmer' spot for Super Bowl XLVII
    Chrysler Scripts More Memorable Super Bowl Ads: Video

    For Super Bowl XLV, in 2011, Chrysler hired Eminem to deliver a loud and clear message: the American auto industry, most noticeably Chrysler and its affiliated companies, were back. Perhaps even more relevant was the theme that Detroit, America’s motor city, was also on an upswing. Last year...

  • Bikers and Lincolns and turtles, oh my

    When Lincoln revealed it would use comedian Jimmy Fallon to write the script for its upcoming Super Bowl ad, based on Twitter submissions about epic road trips from fans, we’ll admit that our first thought was “this isn’t going to end well.” Lincoln, after all, has been hyping style over substance lately, and it even got busted trying to pad performance numbers by mounting up a set of non-stock (i.e., very sticky) tires during a recent MKZ road test. Could Jimmy Fallon really “Steer The Script” in a way that would incite viewers to visit Lincoln showrooms?...

  • The 2013 Audi S6
    Vote For How Audi's Super Bowl Ad Will End: Video

    Audi has had a pretty good run of luck with its recent Super Bowl advertising. In 2011, they asked viewers to say goodnight to stuffy, pretentious luxury and embrace the modern take on it by buying an Audi instead of a Mercedes-Benz. Based on the increase in Audi’s U.S. sales, we’d say...

  • The BMW Zagato Roadster, introduced in 2012

    When it comes to year-end videos, they typically recap memorable news stories, celebrity deaths and other major events of the past 12 months. BMW thinks that the end of the year is a perfect time to show its 2012 highlight reel, thankfully without any overly maudlin tributes. Daryl Jackson, the never-before-seen voice of BMW, narrates a series of three videos that recap the Bavarian automaker’s year. The first covers new product launches, of which there were many. While a new 7 Series flagship is newsworthy, nothing is more significant than the launch of an all-new 3 Series, the...

  • 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe
    Inside And Outside The BMW M6 Gran Coupe: Video

    When it comes down to it, there will likely be one primary reason to pick the BMW M6 Gran Coupe over its platform-sharing sibling, the BMW M5 sedan: style. Both will serve up a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 engine good for 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, and both will seat four adults...

    MINI Paceman John Cooper Works Images Leaked

    There probably isn't a huge market for a somewhat off-road-capable, three-door, sporty, compact hatchback. So what is the market for a more hardcore, sporty, less off-road-capable version of that same hatchback? We're not sure, but that's exactly what the MINI Paceman John Cooper Works is. This is...

  • Circuit of the Americas first lap ceremony. Photo via COTA.

    By almost all accounts, the inaugural United States Grand Prix at Austin, Texas’ Circuit of the Americas was a success. Those in attendance, from Formula One drivers through F1 fans, praised the track, the venue and the parties involved in making the race a success. Only Jackie Stewart seemed displeased with the access to the circuit, telling Autoweek that “It’s not finished, you see, so they haven’t got their access roads. In fact, I am going to write to them about that because I don’t want them running away thinking they got away with it. They...
