Smart Car unmoved by the Gas Can Blues

Jung van Matt in Hamburg, Germany, produced this evocative and memorable spot for Smart Car. Those lonely and discarded gas cans sure have the blues. No wonder, since the vehicle gets 40 miles per gallon. Their “faces” are pretty expressive, though they bear more than a passing resemblance to the head statues on Easter Island. There’s a waiting list of several months in the U.S. for the Smart Car, so it’s easy to share the pain.
