This is the first print ad I've seen for Gran Turismo 4. You can find this magazine at your nearest Borders. It's the March issue, pages 20-21. Advertises www.granturismoworld.com as well as screenshots of 24 cars and their real world prices. :) The ad is placed like it's a car dealer that specializes in every make and model in the entire world. This magazine is also one of the best in the industry, check it out! I wish I had a scanner right now.
 
My issue doesn't arrive for a while as there's a release delay here in australia... but i'll be sure to do a scan of the ad if it isn't done by then! :)

It is the best car magazine in the world, and the funniest. :P

They do great stuff like driving a smart pulse across the USA (had to ship it over, it suprised a lot of people!!), and follow the orient express in a rolls royce phantom (going offroad too!). Their writers are priceless too.
 
Ive been seeing GT4 Ads in loads of Magazines here in England - Top Gear had one, FHM had one, and I think Nuts had one but I can't remember.

CAR is not a bad monthly, but in my opinion Evo beats it hands down for the quality of writing and photography.

Evo comes from the same team as 'Performance Car'; a now defunct UK magazine that used to have Jeremy Clarkson as one of its writers.

Back on topic, I have scanned the advert, you can see it below; however due to the small size of uploads its not too clear.

I forgot to mention later in the magazine there's a two page article about GT4. The second page has a great article about how cars influenced the earlier GTs and now the GT serires has started to influence cars! They talk about how Kaz got to style a racing car for Nissan and the new 350Z GT4 edition that's coming out in Europe that includes a free PS2 and a copy of GT4 in the trunk. Oh yeah, it has an extra 20hp too!

Oh, that's a good ad! I wish I could read it. :P

Thats why a larger version is in my gallery, as I said in my original post, click on the 'My Gallery' button.
 
Im pretty sure EVO has one. If you dont now what that is its British and id recommend you subscribe as fast as you can, i think its the best mag ever.
 
I read the GT4 bit in car and it seemed to be a work of fiction to an extent as they were mentioning a Brabus convertible among other things. Unless I somehow misunderstood but I thought they mentioned the car in connection to the game.
