For a second I thought Carlos Ghosn was going to pose in swimming trunks.
This is much better.

I suspect most viewers would much rather test drive Amber than a Nissan Juke.

As info, the SI Swimsuit issue just arrived in the mail today. This ad campaign has a fold out spread.

I am so happy that agencies are now remembering that sex sells things. I am so sick of advertisements aimed at domestics and neutered males.

As long as you're not eating them (which, let's face it, you shouldn't be), I see no problems. Carry on with your sammich-making.

Maybe if BMW had done that 10 years ago Bangle wouldn't have become such an infamous name.
