Was interesting to see they are driving a D4(?) and in the credits they list LR as a sponsor

LR should get more involved with these shows.

I've noticed most of LR's sponsorship tends to be fairly subtle, such as this. I wonder if providing a cars for these shows provides any 'bang for buck'? I've never known anybody to go out and buy a car because they saw it in a show

it is subliminal(spelling) advertising

During the show they did a bit of good wrap for it. Showed it wading through some creeks, said it was good etc etc,,
Was very good to see.
Also in the Caravan World magazine, one of their tow vehicles is a RR Sport.

Toyota do it all the time. I was watching some show before Xmas some travel around Australia type of show was just a huge add for Toyota went to some interesting places but just kept banging on about how great the Toyota was. Was very over the top I couldn't watch it

Yea, I was watching Pat Callinans show yesterday arvo, it's a shame there was so much advertising, it was so over the top too, otherwise might have been a good show

That's because he's paid to

Before he was sponsored by Nissan, he put a lot of effort into telling us all that he could go "anywhere the bigger 4WD's could go" in his then sponsored Kia Sorento.
