A wasted opportunity

Matsushita (Panasonic) has recently developed a next-generation battery. So to promote its new Oxyride dry-cell battery, Matsushita followed the well trodden path of hiring the services of an attractive young model. All good up to now it has to be said.

The problem is they then decided to put her inside a bizarre battery driven vehicle, with the resultant publicity shot looking comical at best. It’s so bad she almost appears to have been added into the picture by a Photoshop novice.

    Hi.
    In my opinion the Panasonic three wheeler is a pretty cool design for people who like HPV. Can you get some more pix of this one?? I’d love to buy it, but could most likely not aford Panasonic’s price.
    Regard, Sid
