This would be nice, but how'd they get around the inevitable fact that not all rear view mirrors are the same size and shape?

Indeed, therefor this is scam.

they did say selected cars, so it sounds like they're tailored to certain models. as long as they're not selecting my car then i'm fine. this seems like such a specific problem to solve, with a very small target.

what if you notice the leaflet only when you´re already on road? some accidents might happen

Dangerous

this resource has been used in better ways...

Think it for a while.
Then, in anytime, it will come to your mind as an idea.

If you glue/stick something on my car, you'll get in big trouble, and I am talking about 6'2" 195 pound trouble.

You would be surprised.

Bit too 1st degree thinking for me. Anything could be "closer than they appear"--any product at all. So it's not very Masarati, so far as branding goes.

The leaflet was tailored to fit the mirrors of the selected brands and models.
And.....yes, Maserati loved the idea.

Also done for Land Rover or Jeep, with off road images in the mirror.

Ha! Yup, it's really dangerous!
And, it mentioned they only targeted on specific car. So i wonder which model of car they targeted. If we found out, we would know which competitor this campaign is against to. =p

Problem solved!!!
Make the cutout the shape of the Maserati and then stick it on the mirror...
then all cars can be used... the only issue is the perspective of the car cutout
but I think the idea will get through.

Is there anyone apart from the suits at the road safety department who has any comments on this great idea!

whitespace's picture 2055 pencils

f**kin' irresponsible.

LeeMoh's picture 406 pencils

Fresh. Nice. Cool.

And the stupid driver who will get on road without to check his mirrors should take the s**t.

Pity that copy is obvious. It could ve been something like: "Object in the mirror now can be yours."

This was done before with an analgesic.
