I can almost see where they are coming from, but Alfa Romeo and a fetus? As an ad, this really does catch your attention, but I am not sure if it is for the best reasons. If I wanted to buy a car I would like to see it I guess, not a [fetus pretending to drive](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huggies1).

But the [Alfa Romeo ad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giulia-quadrifoglio-luna-rossa) is successful, however, in showing that the [love of driving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/you-are-how-you-car) is something that is innate, almost as if it were cultivated in utero.
