June 17th, 2008 · Comments Off
We’ve been very anxious to discover more about the Death Race remake with Jason Statham, and we just got our first look at the trailer. It looks very different from the original and, once again, a Mustang has the lead on the mechanical side. That starting to be a little much, Ford…

James Bond crashes yet another Aston Martin
May 28th, 2008 · No Comments
Once again, a DBS met its maker on a James Bond shooting. Following the several ones destroyed during the rollover scene in Casino Royale and the one which wasn’t supposed to take a fatal bath in the Lake Garda on the set of Quantum of Solace, the much desired vehicle hit a stone wall in a quarry for what will be the climax of the chase in the upcoming movie.
For good measure, the bad guy’s vehicle is also destroyed in the scene, which MI6 describes as follow:
Bond is chased by villains in Alfa Romeos around the banks of Lake Garda, culminating in a devastating crash in the Canalgrande and Fantiscritti marble quarries. The action will form the pre-credits sequence to the movie and is expected to run for 15 minutes.
Sounds like a hell of thrill ride to start a movie and we can’t wait to see it. At the same time, we’re sad about the car, but we console ourselves by thinking (hoping?) that most of the good stuff (engine, interior…) had been taken out.
MI6 has some really good shots of the making off in their
article.

On our watch list: Get Smart (2008)
May 26th, 2008 · No Comments
We haven’t paid much attention to the upcoming spy/comedy film yet, but there’s actually some car action in it, and even some product placement deals. Vespa is sponsoring it, and a Triumph is seen in the trailer jumping from the stairs of a building. Looks a fun movie with plenty of laughs and thrills, just like we like’em. Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway and “The Rock” seem to be doing perfectly well in this modern day version of the 1960’s TV show. We hope it won’t disapoint. Stay tuned for updates!

Sunday Ads: Ford American Idol commercials
May 25th, 2008 · No Comments
Ford has once again came up with very specific commercials based around a sole popular TV show, and we selected three of them to share with you guys. You might remember the ads specificaly made for the new Knight Rider pilot, involving KITT, Mike Tracer (Justin Bruening) and pretty much every Ford vehicle equipped with SYNC. Well, they did about the same thing with the finalists from American Idol, singing choir-style and interacting with the same cars.
We’re not big fans of the show, but we like the “Ring of Fire” one, shown above. The Mustang becomes a mix between the “bull” car of Nero the Hero from Death Race 2000 and KITT. It’s probably a good marketing move to get a lot of attention from a higlhy targeted audience and to make the brand look more connected to their world. And at the same time, the contestants, admired by the public, endorse the product… So it’s all good for Ford. Which is not to say that it’s not too shabby for the idols either: both winner and runner-up each win a Mustang, such as this year’s David Cook and David Archuleta.

Cool vehicles in Indiana Jones 4 “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”!
May 20th, 2008 · No Comments
If you notice a lot of motorcycle action in the trailer below, that’s normal: Harley Davidson scored a big product placement deal with the production and we will talk more about the deal in another post.
But as often with Indy, some great vehicles will be used by the different protagonists, including the Ford GPA (or is it its russian version, the GAZ 69?), the weird-looking amphibious military vehicle we posted above. It’s not too often you get to see a car chase involving one!
The fourth installment of the Indiana Jones Adventures will be out on Thursday, May 22nd. That’s in two days only, so if you’re a big Indy fan, go get your tickets!

Are you sh*tting us? This Saturn commercial is effin’ great!
I have to admit that this actually happened to me when I first saw one one their new SUVs. Difficult to do worse than the previous models you might say, but still, I was shocked.
