Ford's New Ad Sparks International Controversy

Ford has come under heavy criticism and issued a subsequent apology over an advertising campaign which depicts celebrities bound, gagged and stuffed into the boot of an Indian-made small sedan. Three separate posters have emerged online attempting to showcase the Ford Figo, a compact sedan built for the Indian domestic market. The images were reportedly produced by an Indian advertising firm during one of its brainstorming sessions for Ford, but weren't supposed to be uploaded online. "[We] deeply regret the publishing of posters that were distasteful and contrary to the standards of professionalism and decency within WPP Group," a statement from the agency read on the UK's Daily Mail website. "These were never intended for paid publication and should never have been created, let alone uploaded to the internet. This was the result of individuals acting without proper oversight and appropriate actions have been taken within the agency." The drawings attempt to exploit the Figo's spacious cargo area with the punch line: ''Leave your worries behind with the Figo's extra-large boot''. One drawing features Paris Hilton with reality television counterparts Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, who are tied up and bound while they squeeze into the back of the car. In a second drawing, former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi poses with three scantily clad women who are similarly bound and tied. A third version shows Formula One driver Michael Schumacher behind the wheel of the car while his race car rivals, Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso suffer in the back. Ford has also issued a strongly-worded apology and condemned the agency over the drawings. "The posters are contrary to the standards of professionalism and decency within Ford and our agency partners. Together with our partners, we are reviewing approval and oversight processes to help ensure nothing like this ever happens again," the company said in a statement. 

BMW 02 Series Mini-Documentary

BMW's current reputation of building Ultimate Driving Machines can be traced back through history all the way to 1966, when the German automaker introduced the world to its 1600-2 two-door at the Geneva Motor Show. The car's name was simplified in 1971 to BMW 1602, and it went on to spawn the 2002, one of the most famous BMW models of all time. BMW looks back on its past successes in a video that you can see below. As the automaker itself says in the video description, "This series was extraordinarily successful in reinterpreting the concept of the sports saloon and played a major role in motor sport long after production had come to an end." The 2002 would be replaced in 1975 by another legendary model from BMW: the 3 Series. (autoblog)
