Subie also attacked the GTI and their “fast” advertisements in a couple of different magazine. I say keep it up, its halarious.

I loved the stabs BMW and Subaru made at the Bunnies at VW …

Subaru with their line: “We do not need a made up character called Fast - STI 0-60 in 4.2 seconds” (or such like that)

And then BMW with their distorted “FWD” Bunny..

I love Marketing fights.

sorry Audi, but the average consumer isn’t buying your LeMans R8 racecar so they could care less.
And Subaru, A car isn’t just made up of just an engine.

Its like Miller lite vs. bud light and then smirnoff ice decides to jump in. Hilarious.

adds look FAKE

hit him with yer handbag love! Can’t you just tell advertising is run by gay guys

THESE ADS ARE FAKE. First off, note how the Audi ad is extremely similar to the BMW ad, as if it were designed by the same person (both front view, both have words at top and bottom of car, etc…). Secondly, note how all three have the same sentence structure: congrats to *blank*, from the winner of *blank*.

It’s all photoshop.

They’re not fake. They look the same on purpose, to show that they are mocking a specific ad.

The Subaru STi ad goes: “When you go 0-60 in 4.7 seconds you don’t need a made up character called fast. It’s what makes a Subaru a Subaru”.

International Engine of the Year 2006 was won by the BMW 5 litre V10. Check the website.

The ads are fakes.

The subaru one deffinetly looks fake.

While awesome. They do seem fake.

On a side note, does Subaru sit down and TRY to come up with the ugliest car designs ever? Because they really are outdoing themselves.

OH!!!! NO YOU DIDN’T!!!!!!!

Bmw won 3 engine of the year awards, so i guess that makes them even better than audi and subaru

TM: the engine of the year is awarded in several categories… Subaru did indeed win in one of them…

But come on, Subaru taking a stab at BMW (and Audi)… what is next? Is Daewoo entering the fight???

That pic of the subaru is my background. Ad fights are funny, as long as they’re not stupid

-Tristan

while funny they are fake. I say this because the text is usually more flush with the backgroun din these advertisments so as not to keep the eye away from the car

[...] (Vía: Leftlane) [...]

Yeah because you really want your advertising to remind people of other peoples products

All three advertizments are indeed fake. BMW AG and Fuji Heavy Industries have been informed by representitives here at Audi AG. It is Audi policy to take a firm stance against misrepresentation and slanderous activities.

Hey professor Winterkorn, keep up the good work, I’m loving your cars. How did youget the new Allroad to Prince Charles already when it has not been officially released yet?

GO AUDI!!!

LOL… These are too funny!

(regardless of their authenticity)

Funny indeed, but my fav is still Audi (despite working at a BMW dealership. Audi was my favorite before BMW.).

hilarious but the audi one is very weak tho
its not an a4 that actually won the award that they are bragging about.

Nor is that an A4 in the supposed “ad”. Its an A6.

fakes… The Audi ad is a dead give away. Anyone that knows anything about design can easily spot the stretched type in the Audi Ad… These are huge companies and they shell out the big dollars for the top designers… Good designers don’t stretch type…

Also the type for the Subaru ad, although not stretched is just a bad choice. I doubt that type choice would make it to publication…

The BMW ad is the most convincing, but the background does seem suspect.

Yeah I thought the Audi one looked kind of funny thought maybe it was a bad scan or something.

lol Subaru came out of nowhere to attack BMW and Audi …

this is f***ing hilarious! keep it up!

^^^Ben, yeah Subie did come out of nowhere, lol, but when I read it i laughed out loud

Yeah, probably fake. But I wouldn’t mind seeing a lot mroe of these.

Regardless of the authenticity (and the Subaru ad looks fake), this is just pathetic. Petty talk from BMW and Audi and then Subaru jumps in? Get a life…….

man i say mercedes and mitsubishi should goin the fight!!!

Haha, awesome ads!

Andre Neves may I remind you many new technologies have come from race cars such as F1 and Quattro. So dismissing that Le Mans victories isn’t smart.

that 3 series makes me sick. i like audi the best and bmw and audi are in different league compared to subaru. what the hell.

hilarious ad’s, their amazing. Wish Audi had real wheel drive though. I love their cars, but im afraid there is no replacement for rear wheel. Stupid front wheels always have the back end floating around. Ex: mazda 6 at 100km on a strait, slight S in the road, back end starts to lift. and its supposed to be sporty

And then Microsoft and Disney will give you $4000… These ads look as fake as 90% of everything that’s really “true” on the internet. Put an alien’s head on Nancy Reagan’s body and put it on the cover of Star / National Enquirer / Globe. The internet and photoshop are the new trash magazines. Nothing is real. Or, not as much as people think anyway.

Dubb, which is why Audi has Quattro.

Jon.

Sorry guys, but in this fight BMW is the winner, hands down.

funny ads, but they all look fake

Audi obviously is a superior car when comapred to the two wankers. I do think the ad spat is hilarious though!

Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn - This is not Slanderous or a misrepresentation, it’s fact and it’s not demeaning the product directly. Also, if you are the “Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn” you claim to be, I would expect you to be able to spell advertisement correctly.

only the bmw one is valid coz the the car being advertised actually won the award.

but its ugly as hell

i know for a fact that the BMW ad is real as i saw it in an issue of top gear i believe it was. the audi and subaru ones im not sure of, but the first place i saw the bmw one was a magazine.

Thankyou poster ‘Mike’ Being a proud Leonberg boy, and With my duties based here in Germany, I do not get to Converse in English as often as I would like. I as we all do as people enjoy the opportunity to learn. Perhaps you might enjoy to learn the German language!
The Misrepresentation I have remarked to is that We are the winners of ’six cosecutive 24 hours of Le mans’ when in actuality the historic victories took place in the years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Also I belive it could be viewed upon as slanderous to an extent that these pround Companys would engage in banter of this nature.

Thankyou for positve comments regardless posters.

Subaru’s ad is so out of line it nearly makes me mad. Looks don’t win La Mans, looks don’t win car of the year (it’s a combo of looks, handling, performance and price). And BMW’s V10 won top prize at World Engine of the Year two years in a row!

Booo to Subaru for jumping on the wrong brand wagon with the wrong message.

they’re all fake. notice how behind the lettering like “congratulations to..” it’s a little blurry. that only happens when someone types on a picture in ms paint. at least it happens when i do it… so to the creators: next time use photoshop =D

BMW, Audi, Subaru engage in advertising spat

http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/08/02/bmw-audi-subaru-engage-in-advertising-spat/...

hehe, winding everyone one up… great ad. subaru’s rock. don’t need to be pretty to be pretty mean!! poor audi and bmw - first losing on the track and now on paper… tsk tsk.

Audi did win 6 straight, the missing victory you speak of in 2003 was won by Bentley. Bentley is part of Audi. Get your facts straight Prof.

Also, anyone who knows cars agrees BMW’s are for clowns. Enough said.

The adds are funny, to all u guys saying these adds are fake, they are not I’ve seen all of them. but where’s Mercedes Benz add of the CLS mocking the BMW 745.
