Guess the car!

I have been interested on cars for very long time. I guess since I was born! Actually at those years, I was not able to compare the details, I was only able to identify them by their look. When you are small, design is the best bit and you don’t care about the rest.

As the years have passed, I have driven many different cars and I started to remember their every bit. Especially, interior details. There were some very impressive and there were some very pathetic.

Recently I was looking at my fashion blogger Nelly’s posts and I noticed something interesting! Nelly is a Greek fashion blogger and she has a very creative blog :) (She has more followers than me!) on her blog I noticed a part of a car in her photos but I could not identify it! There was a navigation screen, and this means it might be a premium brand but the air condition knob destroyed the “premium” word. That air condition knob might be from a Nissan or a Renault (They are the same thing now) or something like Kia, may be Toyota or Peugeot, Citroën. But I am hundred percentage sure that, it is not from a German car! I saw that knob in somewhere and it was not built very well. I can remember this very well. Despite my all efforts, I could not manage to find out the brand of this car.

My CSI: Auto ability was not able to solve the case! It might be Nissan Qashqai and also I suspected VW Golf or Passat (The previous models), because they have a very bad built air condition knob but navigation screen changes the pictures!

Comment from Nelly; that’s a Jeep (She means that’s an SUV) or it can be Hyundai :) If you have any idea, please feel free to write on comment :)

Anyway, if you are wondering about the boots they are from Zara :) And you read the rest of the story from the link below.

Top Gear service on eBay

For Monday, I had totally something different to write but I found something rather more interesting!

I found an eBay auction for “Guide to being in Audience if you get Top Gear Tickets”. This auction does not sell or give free tickets, it is just giving your logistical and tactical knowledge if you planning to boost your ego during the TopGear shooting!

Hopefully, this interesting service is only for £2 (€2.3, $4). As mentioned in bidding, it will be only three A4 papers providing the very important knowledge on these topics listed below. And hopefully the %50 of the auction will be given to Ellen MacArthur Trust.

My comment on this service is no comment!

For Dr Ulrich Bez, Aston Martin’s Chief Executive, the Aston Martin DB9 remains a very special car: “The DB9 is the quintessential sporting grand tourer and offers an unrivalled combination of driver involvement, character, luxury and refinement. This car combines our unique Aston Martin character with an uncompromised design philosophy, craftsmanship and trademark Aston Martin performance ability.”

Het fotograferen van een auto in het wild is niet echt een kunst, je hoeft alleen even uit te zoeken waar je ze kunt vinden. Echt alle vrijheid hebben om een auto te kunnen vastleggen is een heel ander punt, want je zit vast aan de omgeving. Veel auto’s staan op locaties met veel achtergrond ruis, al dan niet helemaal klem geparkeerd. Dat is al

BMW Unscripted Movie #4

Here is the fourth short movie from BMW! This time BMW made the movie based on motorcycle. Actually I was reluctant to add this video or not. But I wanted to add something different for once.

The movie took place in Antalya which is located south of Turkey. As you can see from the movie, Tiffany Coastes went around the world with a BMW motorcycle. But not with a BMW SUV !!! What we learn from this movie; if you are planning to go around the world, don’t prefer BMW X5. It may not wish to go around the world as you wish :)

I can say one thing about these movies, they definitely strength the bond between the brand and consumers. Even though you have no idea about cars, you will have sympathy towards BMW! Well Done! I don't know which PR agency did this job, but they did it great.

I don't know why but the last movie does not appear on BMW's YouTube channel.

 

The details of journey can be found here!

The Mercedes Benz takes elements from airplanes, absorption on acceleration and movement with capacity aggressive by the TRON legacy. Maybe in the abutting cine the TRON aggregation can advancement the lightcycle and barter it in for a badass Benz.

Coolest Audi A3

Audi is not my favourite but I cannot deny the fact that they are producing state of the art vehicles. Unfortunately these state of the art vehicles have different fates! Some of them end up in a luxury garage and be loved by it owner or driven as corporate car or worse driven as a rented car.

However this is totally something else, this owner made the uncool Audi A3 as the coolest car of the year. I am proud to announce the 2011's coolest car of the car, water frozen Audi A3.

As I read from WorldCarFans website, the owner parked his car as usual but the water pipes did not act as usual, so they broke down and freezing winds of Manhattan created this sculpture.

Actually this is a very unfortunate situation but the owner tried to separate ice and Audi A3 by sledge hammer and this is more unfortunate. All right I don't like A3 and I consider as a luxury VW Golf but sludge hammer is too tough for it :)

Volvo S60's lovely merchandises

I was planning to write something else for today but my blogger friend Sila sent me something which I could not avoid it :) Actually this is the most remarkable thing about a car :)

It was about Volvo and its lunatic level of brand extensions strategy. Sila is a fashion blogger and she has nothing to do with cars except driving them! As you can imagine the situation is so serious.

Volvo's new "eye-catching" model S60 packed with attitude and driving pleasure (I don't know how you pack a car with attitude and driving pleasure) is offering nail polishes. You didn't read wrong, Volvo S60 has nail polishes as a brand extension strategy and it can be bought from Volvo's merchandise store.

It offers three differently pleasuring colours! 612 R-Design Red, 481 Cosmic White, 704 Vibrant Copper, 487 Ember Black. And they are being offered by a very reasonable price of €18 (£15) but the red is cheaper €10 (£8)!

I don’t have any knowledge on nail polish colour codes but as far as I understood these codes are the Volvo S60's colour codes. And from the press release I can understand that, when you buy a Volvo S60 with these colours you are supposed to buy the same colour nail polish!

"Volvo is probably the first car maker in the world to market nail polish. We wanted to do something a bit different, with a touch of humour and a little unexpected twist for the launch of the new car, while at the same time offering our female target group an unusual product," says Yvonne Hall Tobiasson, Merchandise & Licensing manager at Volvo Cars' Global Marketing department

From this point of view, I can clearly say one thing. Volvo S60 is the best female car of the century :)

By offering nail polish a part of brand extension strategy, Volvo ticked the female section in S60's gender section and definitely avoided many male customers. I really wonder the male "potential" customers’ interpretation of these products :) When you check their website for S60, it is full of testosterone hormone :)

And from old days, Volvo S60 had a very impressive show to press and with these colours we can polish it better :)
