SUBARU’S ADVERTISING

Subaru, one of Asia’s more unique automakers, has taken an equally odd and hilarious approach to marketing its Forester cute-ute in Canada. Matching sumo wrestlers with the all-new small Subie wouldn’t generally invoke cries of “Sexy”, but Fuji Heavy Industries has executed good and well.

Follow this link to SexySubaru.ca where you can control your own photoshoot with a rather large gentleman and a Subaru Forester. Zoom in, move left and right, and alter the finish of your shots at the end. YouTube’ll show you the main TV advert, as well.
