Brief Explanation

Through creating an image of a luxury car ad, this ad aims to convey a strong message about Takara Taxi's low fares by exploiting the polar disparity between the two intriguingly different perceptions of luxury and economy. Despite a wealth of ads for luxury cars from domestic manufacturers, there are almost no ads for taxis. Therefore, we purposely made the ad so it wouldn't appear at first as one for a taxi. However, viewers eventually realize its true identity and are surprised to learn that fact and its message of a low cost taxi service.
