Fiat 500 Abarth put together with Naked Girls [VIDEO]

naked girls

Fiat has put together a behind-the-scenes look quite an interesting ad idea using a bunch of naked girls to pose in the shape of a Fiat 500 Abarth Cabrio and paint them with body paint.  While using scantily clad or naked women in car commercials or other commercials is nothing new and something Fiat has done before with the model Catrinel Menghia, this new Fiat 500 Abarth commercial I think is original and cool.  Checkout the behind-the-scenes video below and let me know what you think of the body painted Fiat 500 Abarth.

A behind-the-scenes look at pulling together one of the most complex, ambitious and beautiful body paint photos you've ever seen.

Apparently Fiat hired circus performers for this ad.  Makes sense as hiring regular models, while they might be nice to look at naked, probably wouldn't be able to hold or contort themselves into the right poses.  Fortunately these naked girls from Cirque du Soliel (I think) are able to pull the job off all while trying to sell a car.

Even though I really like this Fiat 500 Abarth campaign and applaud Fiat for their originality, I still think the most original idea I have ever seen would be Ford's Parisian Pinball.  Surprising since you would assume nude girls contorting themselves would win.

The real question for Fiat is if if this slick campaign will help sell Fiat 500 in the US.  The reception for the Fiat 500 has been lukewarm since the brand's reintroduction to the states even with a smart and well planned marketing strategy.  Would you buy a Fiat 500 after watching this commercial?  Yeah, I know what you are thinking.  “I would if those naked chicks came with it!” 🙂

2012 Timonium Motorcycle Show – February 10th-12th

Timonium Motorcycle Show - Harley Davidson Iron 883

Some people might be excited about the Baltimore Auto Show that kicked off today.  Those who love motorcycles in the Baltimore area should be equally excited.  That is because the 2012 Timonium Motorcycle Show is this weekend and looks to be better than every.

The Timonium Motorcycle Show is the Mid-Atlantic regions largest motorcycle show and takes place at the Maryland State Fairgrounds.  New bikes from all the major manufacturers will be covering over 175,000 sq ft. of indoor floorspace.  There will also be custom bike galore as bikers car show off their motorcycles to win in the Bike Show in lots of different classes.  Exhibitors will be selling all sorts of motorcycle goods, accessories, and services.

As usual Michele Smith, the actress and model who hosts “Two Wheel Thunder on the Discover Channel, will be at the show all three days.  She will act as a host and master of ceremonies for several of the planned events.  Emilo Rivera, who plays Marcus Alvarez on the hit FX show “Sons of Anarchy,” will be at the show on Saturday and Sunday to meet the fans.  You can meet him up close and personal, but I hope he is nicer than his character on TV.  Ron Finch, the famous custom bike builder, will be in attendance too.  His motorcycles truly are works of art formed out of metal.

Something most guys will be looking forward to is the International Bikini Team competition taking place over the three days of the show.  The lovely contestants will vie for a chance to win a spot to go to the International Bikini Team U.S. Finals in the Bahamas in August.  I can imagine the competition will be strong and the girls will be pulling out all the stops to win.  I will be looking forward to this.

If you love motorcycles, the 2012 Timonium Motorcycle Show will be the place for you to be this weekend.  The show will be so jam packed with great events, motorcycles, and offerings it is hard to write about it all.  Visit the website for more information and the schedule of events.
