Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / June 2007Interesting product placement for toyota
I watch that movie Blood Diamonds the other night. Interesting how every time a pack of gunmen arrive at a village to massacre little kiddies they always seem to be driving Hiluxs with the big TOYOTA on the rear featuring prominantly in most of the shots. Did Nissan pay them off or something? :-) On May 28, 12:05 pm, "Michael C" <mculleyNOS...@optushome.com.au> wrote: > I watch that movie Blood Diamonds the other night.

Did Nissan pay them off or something? :-) That movie was totally unbelievable! Did you see how when he escaped in a Pajero, and even though he thrashed the bejesus out of it and was shot at repeatedly, it didn't blow any blue smoke! Must have blown the CGI budget for that scene ; p > On May 28, 12:05 pm, "Michael C" <mculleyNOS...@optushome.com.au> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > shot at repeatedly, it didn't blow any blue smoke!

Did Nissan pay them off or something? :-) It's powerful advertising aimed directly at the wannabes. Same as the potentates who rule over 'em always drive mercs (as do their emulators). ;-)  SignatureJohn H >> I watch that movie Blood Diamonds the other night.

I didn't go back and count the number of toyotas vs other makes but the big TOYOTA on the back of the 'luxes did stand out. Maybe it's the image toyota wants? ;-) Michael >>> It's powerful advertising aimed directly at the wannabes.

Possibly true. The previous 'lux versions came white with black stand out letters on the tailgate. Mine has the stand out letters, but not the black paint. So there were different variants (mind you I updated the tailgate from what might have been a 2x4 'lux - my original used to have the black lettering). > I didn't go back and count the number of toyotas vs other makes but the > big TOYOTA on the back of the 'luxes did stand out. Maybe it's the image > toyota wants? ;-) They don't go to the trouble of stamping it into the tailgate skins for nothing :) -- Regards, Noddy. >> I didn't go back and count the number of toyotas vs other makes but the >> big TOYOTA on the back of the 'luxes did stand out.
