Kevin tells me that Å koda don’t sell cars in the USA. That means that you folks will be missing out on some seriously cool ads. Four years ago Å koda produced a wonderful ad for their Fabia model in which they made a car entirely out of cake, jelly and the like. The background music was Julie Andrews singing “Favorite Things” (I think the Sound of Music soundtrack version). It is officially available on YouTube but not embeddable, so you will need to click here to see it.

Now Å koda has a new, sportier version of the Fabia available. And there is a new ad to go with it. Here’s what Å koda has to say:

…deep inside of the Å koda factory another incredible process has been taking place. Unbeknownst to the bakers, in an experimental wing where they fear to tread, an expert team of engineers and geniuses have been creating a new Fabia hot-hatch. And you certainly wouldn’t say it was lovely.

Welcome to the meanest car production process known to man.

Oh yes. Here it is.

Anyone know who did the cover version of the song? I’m sure I have heard it before, but my Google-fu is failing me.

Update: Messed up links fixed. Sorry, hadn’t spotted the weird stuff YouTube was doing with the URLs.
