The Best Advertise On Billboard I've Ever Seen!

[West]

OK, i can't stop laughing everytime i think about it. Its so IN YOUR FACE sort of thing, i'm sure everyone would have seen TOYOTA latest billboard ad campains.

I dont know about other states but here in VIC, there is this massive billboard on Kings way that shown TOYOTA own F1 car's picture and then under it there is this sentence that say

NO WONDER WHY WE WEREN'T INVITE TO BATHURST

I also saw another one at a bus stop that have the same TOYOTA F1 car which said :

NOW THIS IS A REAL V8 SUPERCAR

I love it so much that i so want one of them billboard for my garage. Once again, in your FACE.

[Crimpage]

Hahaha, that is good.

Take a pic n post it!!

Yeah i remember a few years ago toyota was lobing to get into V8 supercars. And all the ford and holden drivers were saying how they don't mind them looking into it, just that they want if throughly investgated, and that if it's in the best interest of the sport.

But i think we all know that they would be shit scared cos toyota could make a great v8 supercar. They are the most profitable car maker in the world (in the next few years they will be selling more cars than GM, plus they won't be selling them for a loss unlike GM) they have racing experiance in the most advance series in the world with formula 1. And i plain don't understand how people think commodores are good cars.

My mum has one for work and i drove it one day and the fit and finish is terible. The steering is vague with no feel or weight. The brakes are wooden and has a slushly pedal. But on the other hand i have driven a BA and find them to be much better.

Back on topic Toyota for the win!!!

i took a photo of that with my phone ages ago and its still my background.... i love it

Bogans hate it. A couple of the signs at bus stops have been vanalised... jealous

"Experience is the word people give to their mistakes".

The best funded F1 team in the paddock, and they still can't string a couple of wins together even after stealing a front running team's engineering.

[The Baron]

I work for the 'Big T' and I didn't know that they were apparently only up in Melbourne.... must have been for the 'Grand Prix'

As for the comment that they haven't won anything yet - the 'tag line' cleverly avoids that by saying

"We Race, We Learn - You Win"

I agree though - excellent ad - to quote another Victorian "Stuck it right up'em"

[sh@un]

Advertising the soon-to-be new 'Aurion' with some hinting at 'F1-inspired' undertones is ghey. I'm really sure it makes grandpa&ma all warm and fuzzy inside to think that they will be able to buy some 'sporty' camry derivative. Toyota's marketing guff is teh suck. They became the worlds most profitable car maker by selling (for the most part) the worlds most boring (but reliable) vehicles. Say's a lot about the average driver, I reckon.

They shoulda just stuck with rallying, instead of F1- at least they could win at that.

But no, someone decided F1 was more 'glamourous', and that they'd have a crack at that instead. Hey we can't lose- We're Toyota, let's just inject cubic dollars and watch the championships roll in. Nigga please.

I think I saw Mike Gascoyne running away from one of those bus signs last Saturday night

Myeeh

Got more points then Ford, Nissan, Holden, Mazda or Mitsubishi have scored in Formula 1 recently and those are the only competitors in the Australian market place ;-)

Also makes sense if you are advertising a 6 cylinder to differentiate yourself from the others (and it's a lot better then the 'Camry Chicken' or 'Dame Edna' - what were they on ??)

Sure the Aurion won't be my first choice (that'll be the Skyline ;-) but heck I really enjoyed my Corolla Sportivo and will be sad when it goes next week to be replaced by a Yaris (Fear my 1.3 litres of FURY !!!! ;-)

How many F1 teams actually use the Toyota V8?

Thats true, but unfortunatly they were disqualified for allegedly cheating in 1995, (the adjustable turbo restrictor), and subsequently banned for all for 1996. I guess this gave them time to explore other avenues.

And that new Aurion Sportivo concept, a 3.5L v6, supercharged, FRONT wheel drive??? Come on.

Allegedly! - the whole thing was investigated by the FIA & Toyota found guilty. They thoroughly deserved what they got.

So you can probably drop the allegedly if you want.

IMHO it was one of the most egregious examples of cheating you would ever come across.

I remember watching V8 supercar drivers having their Gala dinner or whatever it was on TV at CROWN CASINO and ALAN MOFFAT(spelling?) was saying something like:

.....a few years back Toyota did approach us (probably V8 super car organiser) to see if they can run in our V8 supercar with their own 4lt engine quad cam all alloy on a slightly lighter car too and i told them to build the same 5lt engine and build the same car then join us

I can still remember Alan was saying this while laughing and i thought what an arrogant prick. No disrespect here, i love watching V8supercar myself but dont' they think its getting boring that you only see Holden and Ford?

some 1 take a pic of this, i wanna see it

[scathing]

I saw them when I was down in Melbourne for F1.

They're kinda funny. There was one on a massive billboard across the road from the Palmerston pub (which is a block away from Albert Park), as well as in tram stops everywhere.

They had some sort of 'bypass' set-up to flow around the restrictor, as I remember it. The FIA, predictably, takes a fairly dim view of such 'creative' engineering.

The whole series is obviously massively popular, but the cars bear almost no resemblance from a technology point of view to the road-cars anymore. They're more like 'stock' cars- 5 Litre engines and live rear axles...gimmes a freakin' break!. Bring back Grp A!!

They are scared that toyota will win with they superior technology, remember the last japanese car maker that handed holden and ford their ass on a plate and still holds the fastest bathurst race time after all these years.
