It is old news: Audi loves to present their cars at prominent arches/monuments. They have a thing for it. Remember the shots of the R10 race car last October in Paris right at the Arc de Triumphe? Here is the next Audi-arch story: The new Audi TT is hitting the roads ...

Making your own car commercial - Chevy puts you in the directors’ seat

Friday, April 7th, 2006

It is very easy to bash the Detroit Auto makers these days. I have certainly been guilty of it. They suck in so many different ways. So the good really sticks out (maybe that's part of their marketing plan). Enough said. Here is something pretty cool: At Chevy "The Apprentice" they ...
