There’s certainly a raging sense of humour in the automotive industry if manufacturers’ efforts to fool the public on April 1st\u00a0are anything to go by.<\/p>\n
We’ve come across some brilliant and rather extravagant dupes from around the world that fooled thousands of gullible viewers.<\/p>\n
Let’s start off with Peugeot from the UK. They produced a news story on their RCZ sports car, where they claimed to have developed a ‘mood paint’. The car, we are told, changes colour to suit our moods. Sounds sensational, doesn’t it? But then suspicion kicks in when the presenter is a very professional young lady by the name of ‘Flora Polis’ (anagram experts take note). Anyway let’s hear what April Fool..sorry, Flora Polis\u00a0 has to say here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Almost believable? Well, it certainly duped a lot of people, but Subaru were not to be outflanked when they announced the World’s first self-cleaning car on April 1st here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Perhaps the most elaborate of all was the collaboration between Google and Nascar. Nascar are American oval racers and the most popular form of motor sport in the USA. Google we all know about. But many don’t know about the Google Driverless car<\/a>.\u00a0However, put the two together and this is what you get<\/a>.<\/p>\n
