We Love Cars. CM - Car Identification thread

[shirakawaa]

In order to not pollute the news thread with relatively off-topic discussion, I think it's probably better to open a new one about the We Love Cars. commercials.

In the past week, there have been filmings for a new one to be performed with real cars. A japanese person who was selected for it, nicknamed Namazu-r, kindly posted photos of the event on his blog. For everybody's sake and convenience, I'll repost them here in thumbnail format. The originating source for these photos are the following blog entries:

According to Namazu-r, a few dozens cars in the front of the pack were reserved special, more detailed filming treatment called "Graphic filming". What that means it's unknown even to the commercial participants, but we can speculate, seeing the photos, that they were cars more important than other ones. Maybe they will specifically be cars that will effectly appear in the game? Or cars that manufacturers absolutely wanted to be filmed? We'll know soon.

Anyway, here are all the photos in thumbnail format:

Agree, great thread, I was hoping for someone to make this one, great job. Can't wait for the commercial to air.

Yep, that's weird considering that very rare cars (especially for Japan) can be spotted. Maybe they where somewhere else in the group.

As for identified cars, I'll add them to the first post!
It would help if people are able to identify year and trim too.

That's a serious film shoot! I'm not really one for putting sticker on my car but I'd love some of those "We love cars" stickers. I'm looking forward to the car identification.

By the way, the bigger ones were magnetic patches, not stickers.
Small ones were available in both sticker and magnetic patch format.

I'm not sure if the Nissan Caravan there was part of the group, though.

Silver car infront of the Viper is a Peugeot 407SW

It would help to quote the thumbnails used to identify cars in order to make verification easier, by the way.

 

[ghostrider135]

Hmm i can see the thumbnail in my post that's odd :S

 

[Beat the Beat]

Anyone know what they're planning for this ad? There are 6 rows of cars, just like there are on the slide, and they're arranged facing a big stretch of tarmack. Maybe they could use camera effects and cgi to have it look like they're going down a slide.

 

[shirakawaa]

Nissan?
Maserati GranSport (behind: Mazda RX-7 (FD) ?)
Toyota Prius 2010?
Honda NSX 1st gen
Honda S800 (behind: Mitsubishi Evo X ?)

I don't know the details but they were filmed on various angles (from a quite tall height too) while standing still and while they moved forward all together at low speed (20 Km/h).
Special attention was paid to the front pack.

 

[Enciah]

Mazdaspeed Axela = mazda 3 MPS in some country

 

[gman07]

I do believe the Viper is a 1997.

 

[shirakawaa]

I do believe the Viper is a 1997.

Could be. It's the first gen, anyway.
Any help on other american muscle cars appearing there?
I really have little or no idea about them.

 

[wolfke]

Silver car infront of the Viper is a Peugeot 407SW

407sw hehe ok

 

[Rob192005]

I noticed the S13 Silvia isn't on the list yet..looks like an '88 K's to me, Also there is a Toyota Sports 800 behind the Maserati and according to GT4 the year for that would be 1965.

 

[analog]

In image number 6 ( behind the Challenger ) there's another blue Maserati, only this time it's the Spyder and in image number 20 there's the Shelby Eleanor.
The Lexus in both picture 13 and 21 is a current generation GS and the white with blue stripe Mustang appearing in several pics is a Shelby GT500.

 

[De-JaY]

2009 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro

 

[Rob192005]

If I'm not mistaken,the middle car in pic 15 is a Honda Odyessy.

 

[Dan360]

Behind the second pic of your car,parked with other cars, I see a Blue Nissan 350Z (or Fairlady?). I also see a Mitsubishi Evo X, the photo after your car's close up.
On the yellow muscle car shot, there's a Mazda MX-5, and a red Lamborghini Gallardo, far left.

 

[Rob192005]

In pic 4 there is a Mini Cooper next to the Mazda 3 MPS,I think the car behind it is the 2010 Honda Insight.

 

[shirakawaa]

I'm unable to spot it. Is it the white car in the middle here? Could you point to the size of the picture in Kb rather than the image number?

It's not my car, it's the original uploader's
I'll add them to the list.
