Crash Test Pandas

Fiat Shows Animals at the Wheel of Green Rides

To draw attention to their reduced environmental impact vehicles, Fiat has launched a new collection of advertisements.

The Fiat ads are particularly interesting because they show their cars in crash test situations, but instead of having a dummy at the helm, a panda, penguins and a walrus are placed in the driver’s seat.

While the images definitely draw the eye, it is only to enforce the low environmental impact message from Fiat. Take a look at these unconventional crash test ads. Oh, and no pandas, walruses or penguins were harmed (for the record).
