Subaru takes shot at VW with new ad

Subaru has used a new full-page ad to take a shot at rival Volkswagen and its “Fast” advertising campaign. The television commercials and print ads show a single shot of the Subaru WRX Sti with the caption, “When you go 0-60 in 4.7 seconds, you don’t need a made-up character called Fast. It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.” One must wonder if Subaru was a little peeved by Volkswagen’s Unpimp Your Auto ad campaign, which mock hood scoops and spoilers. (Thanks to Drew & Kaymin for the tip!). Full image of the ad after the jump…

Is there a link to VW's unpimp your auto advert?

I'm pretty sure that thing is fake (photoshopped).

Hmm - I wouldn't be so sure - it looks like a shot taken from a magazine.

The ad looks very familiar, and by photoshopped I mean that it was a normal ad with some of the text changed. Notice how "a made up character called fast" is lighter in color than the rest of the white text.
