This is an interesting attempt at an advert poster shown through the 'Toyota Curve' print as the advertised Toyota FJ Cruiser 4x4 is no where to be seen. The poster is a simple picture that's been edited of a curving road on a mountain.
The metal roadside is broke to make it seem like a car wasn't able to make the curve, but slick viewers will realize that the metal is bent towards the road meaning the vehicle must have come up from the mountain range and back onto the road. This ad promoting Toyota's newest road vehicle highlights the rugged features of the new car.
