Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
Another bit of fun with advertising, this is one of BMW’s ads in Spain. Putting a play on the phrase “scaredy cat”, it shows the trademark Jaguar hood ornament running away in fear from a BMW in a face-off.

Can do like that one kah…damaged Jaguar brand. Other place they don't allows people to damaged other product names.
Just like last time Savvy commercial…they cannot say directly against Perodua. So they use a cleanner quote " Luckily my son didn't buy the other one"

run jaguar run!!! haha… but im looking forward for the next move in jaguar's ad against bmw… last time bmw oso play ad against audi ya? haha! this is fun and interesting…
sorry for sending the reply so many times. i thought the message didn't get through..
sorry..
happy new year!!!
LOL. hilarious, the jaguar is running away from the BMW's monstrous nostrils
the bmw is look like a dragon, lion, alien or predator.
SO GARANG !!!
don't know how would it look likes if the '07 Subaru Impreza STI face to face with the above BMW 5… Which one looks more MEANER ???
Any photoshop expert out there ?????
Where is that "Teophylisis" man went ????? (Sorry if i spelt wrong..)
( that CGI expert creating Savvy Sedan & etc…. any news ? )
Hehe.. if we look it out with another perspective, it will look alike:
1. The jaguar is ready to kick out of it dung's to the face of BMW (Besi Mahal Weiii!)
2. Crash test, which one is tougher? Can u guess?
3. It's just of pic of face(butt) to face parking..
4. Jaguar's face is like an old man while the M5 is like a man with anger.
A ironic human simulation.
5. Run!run! The big nostrils is coming! Disguisting..
p/s: Sorry BMW's fan, i'm not Jaguar's fan. i'm not driving the both cars…
Just to neutralize, just for fun.
BMW's design is a decade ahead of the competition. But put up a ads like this is a bit not gentleman.
ads like these are common overseas. in the 80's and 90's, there were a ton of ads from both pepsi and coke attacking each other at the throat that are now considered as "classic advertising".
not so funny… Jaguar, go ahead u can sue BMW….
no they can't. if they could, they would all be suing each other left right and centre bye now. besides, its been done for decades in advertising.. just can't happen here, thats all.
lol…when i saw savvy, i go like "shit…should have dump all my savings into Myvi earlier.."
Hmm.. I seriously think BMW is right in showing this ad. The jaguar was trying to run away for the miserable look of new BMWs, especially the 5 series. As quoted from TopGear – "BMW 5 too ugly".
err… wat's wif the bentley link? ;p

Means, F**K TO ALL THE OTHER BRANDS… lol…
hahahaha… LOL!
Full praises for the ad agency that came up with this idea.
I simply loved it.
A simple ad though – but one which packs a lot of punch in it.
Cheers!
I do not think any of these so called advertisements where issued by the OEMs themselves. Please proof me wrong by posting links to legitimate pages (e.g. reference to where the ads appeared IN PRINT – magazines, newspapers etc. – and the dates the copies ran). Reference to personal web space like photobucket or something vague ''in Spain" is meaningless and alludes to urban legend. Any person with basic Photoshop skills can create the referenced ads. That does not make it 'real', just fun and entertaining.
I personaly think Jaguar has a meaner look to it the leaping cat with its mouth open ready to bite. I think Jaguar is far surperior to BMW its looks are timeless elegants!!! its a moving peice of art work like a bentley Yes BMW may have the performance but Jaguar has the style down to a t. I have driven Jaguars all my life and Bentley too and trust me the jag is the closest thing to a Bentley as you can get true craftsmanship.
Ps Bentley wins it all I love the guy fliping everyone off. Take that BMW
