Fantastic campaign, although to me it would work better, if we could shoot the real thing and forget about Photoshop for a second! Schade.

Although all of you becheer it, it only got a 7 here. Gave a 10 :)

Totally with Grrrr that real shots are much cooler - but will there be such high budgets anymore ? ...

Clever! I wonder how the lane assist works. Does your car really "honk" at you? Or just beep incessantly?

“Lane Assist” warns the driver with a vibration of the steering wheel. Then it is up to the driver to take correcting action.

It's about warning, not really honking. :)

It works also without the white lines at the border of the lanes as it is in this picture?

It's a simple idea, not bad.
