I noticed something about Porsche's.

It occured to me that you just don't see much advertising for Porsche cars with lovely girls sprawled all over them.

I wonder why?

1) The models look like EX wives?

2) The geezers who buy them don't notice girls anymore?

3) Porsche buyers are more dignified and don't like cheapening stuff with T&A ?

4) Its straight women who decide what Porsche to buy.

5) Once you have a Porsche you will have too many beautiful girls hanging around and that may be a problem for you?

6) No model would be caught dead posing with a Porsche because the Porsche is better looking?


BTW: A fresh washed Porsche of any color looks fantastic, but the red my favorite.

I let the GF influence my color decision, when she said Black is sexier than red, how could I argue with that logic.

jb92563: My revised answer; #3 and #6.

Besides, on those other car ads, the girls are there to distract you from the ugliness of the car . . .

Your hubby would have found it strange if you answered 1, 2, 5 though he probably would not object to #5

I spent a couple years preping cars for commercials & print ads. If you notice Porsche rarely does "mainstream" ads, normally focusing on enthusiast magazines & shows. 10 years ago Porsche would not pay for product placement of their vehicles, but due to the surge in placements lately I suspect this may have changed (VW). Last month at the PCA Tech Tactics West Jeff Zwart was the highlight of the day with his show of his Porsche photography for ads dating back 20 years including the Family tree Panamera launch commercial featuring 20+ "significant" vintage Porsche race cars. Jeff said he was able to gather these cars by making 3 phone calls + the $7million dollar insurance rider for the shoot. Jeff Zwart is the directer for the ongoing Cadillac ATS commercial as well as the current recordholder for lowest time accending Pikes Peak in a production car GT2RS.
I used to work with a guy handling the Hyundai fleet. He always said the crappier the car the more you have to advertise it.

Number 5? How do you think he got me?

Just kidding, it is after all, a car.

It was the diamond earrings that made me pay attention . . .
