I like it.
very nice
ferrari T-shirt?
forced
Yeah, a little bit...
If I live in a countryside, and I know that everyday at a certain time, this asshole millionaire up the mountain will drive his Mercedes very fast to where I hang my clothes to dry and blow my clothes away... I think I can come up with a better solution than that picture.
Sometime creative come up with good idea that should have been used for a different product.

Sorry, but I don't like it, the picture looks bad, I don't undestand why they put a ferrari logo on the shirt, and the whole concept seems forced. Plus it doesn't live up to Mercedes standards.
Isn't this a bit forced?
"Assume nothing, question everything."
its funny. the ferrari shirt because of the competition mercedes vs ferrari in formula 1.
Nice ad, I liked it.

You see it and you understand it's talking about speed.
I like the competition with Ferrari: good joke for a van.
It is forced? Maybe.
It is wrong? Don't think so.

Well done!
Nice way to tell it is fast, like it. But the ferrari logo on t-shirt is another message, this is confusing.
waiting for ferrari ad
the ferrari is already arrived, the driver went home, he washed his tshirt and he anged it outside to watch the slow mercedes van arriving...
maybe...

:D you are absolutely right.. i was going to say what u said
but i want to add, first it looks more for a ferrari Ad since we know the ferrari is the fastest car
after seing the logo.. ok the mercedess it could be fast but not faster than a ferrari regarding ur comment ;)
because he arrived first and waiting for the mercedess, plus the art direction is not helping here since its cloudy so the air
is moving the T-shirt...and its not a straight highway.
Somewhat contrived.
just kill the ferrari shirt this is the forced part.. other than that it is cool.. VW Golf have a similar tv ad.. no the same though..
at first glance it looks like its a ferrari ad.
hamra ke kuch nahikhey bujaat
I like it. Of Course that might be because I watch Formula One Racing with my boyfriend (when we can catch it) So the Ferrari shirt comes off as funny to me as Mercedes and Ferrari are big rivals in F-1 racing.
