MINI Subway Entrance Ad (Switzerland)

I came across this link today and thought that you all would find this amusing. MINI still has some clever advertising.

Very cool MINI ads in Switzerland

http://blog.coolz0r.com/2006/07/07/one-large-mini/

I thought this was pretty cool - sorry if its a repost, I searched and didn't see it posted on NAM yet. Very neat advertising campaign emphasizing the deceiving amount of room on the inside of the MINI.

EDIT: oops, repost of https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=73288

Haven't seen it yet, thanks for posting. Is it the entrance to a subway?
Added to my "collection."

Gee, how could you know what "clever advertising" is specific to? Your title is way to concise!

Very clever ad! I also enjoyed reading the comments posted on the other forum. Seems like they have some of the same characters - er - types that we have here on NAM!

Yes! It's high time we make duplicate thread topic posting a capital crime! Or at least a first strike offense...
