Fuel Efficient Car Babes Calendar: Prius is December!

It'd be nice if the girls were actually modeling with the cars....oh well.

 

Interesting juxtaposition

 

Too bad the G3 V/Five's beautiful alloys aren't shown.

 

Looks great. Any reason why Prius FIVE with 17" rims wasn't used?

 

Those looking at the cars may have missed the point of this particular calendar. Me, I would prefer Prius owners who happened to be statuesque rather than generic babes.

 

I'm not convinced that the model is in the same shot as the Prius.

Firstly, from where she stands you can see from the bricks that she is not far away from the car, but she looks like a giant, even given that she is wearing heels. I'm guessing proportionally she is 7 to 7 1/2 feet tall.

Secondly she casts a super long shadow but the Prius does not.

Finally I find it curious that the op has a 2011 Prius Alpha 5 with Solar Roof.

 

Thirdly... I think she needs to eat a more balanced diet. Something with a bit less bulimia in it perhaps.

 

So does this mean the Moon Landing really was shot in a sound stage located in the Arizona desert?

 

Wow, what a bargain!

By buying the calendar, in one fell swoop you can support tastelessness,
the objectivization of women, and inept use of PhotoShop.

IIRC, the demographics for this board is higher than typical education and
age. It would appear that the marketing/publicity dept hasn't done it's
homework.

IMHO, this is borderline SPAM.

 

I must protest; this was NOT an inept use of Photoshop.

This was an inept use of MS Paint.

 

Prius has great aero-curves. Leaf has voluptuous headlights.

These are the best looking green car posters I have seen.

 

It is spam and not a bargain: it's obvious all photo elements were stolen off the net and composited...even barring connotations hired models with cars.

 

Well I don't think it's very cool to make even the models look photoshopped on top of the cars on top of a faux background. Literally every example I see on the advertised site has seperate lighting on the car vs the model (and many of the compositions have mismatched perspectives). It would have helped to at least have spent some time with the shadows. As is, it looks like every element is a collage and is not composited very well. Because the models look to be seperate from the cars, it doesn't look like they were hired.

Here is an example of what I think is a good composite (everything is in perspective and the artist actually spent time with shadows and lighting):

 

I'd be happy to pose with a Prii!

 

Substituting gas saving cars for supercars does nothing to make this idea any less derivative.

 

While I often think that the Prius community is a little too elitists for my tastes, this SPAM-O-RAMA might be just a little too much counterbalance.

But hey.....as long as you're into the this kind of "marketing", why not include a diminutive pair of "truck nutz' in a stern shot while you're at it?

 

The problem with putting those on a Prius is they would be dragging all the time.
