Its great, didn't they do a TV ad with a snowplough following a VW car, back in the '90's?

Or was that Volvo? or maybe Land Rover?

Either way its similar but this is a twist and is selling the benefit, great!

Done 40 years ago. Bernbach will be happy.

I'm just wondering how much work (and resource$) did it take to make that shot. The overall color looks kinda dead to me but anyway, it's a good idea, I like the spirit of the brand.

A mesma idéia de um ad da Almap para Touareg (Cegonha atolada na lama sendo rebocada por uma das Touaregs que estavam em sua "caçamba").

The Snowplough Redux.
A true testament that a great simple concept never gets old, but it gets recycled.

How much costs a picture like this Mr Harriman?

Interesting idea, but it's not good, so forced
