Eng “Speaking about "Innovation that excites" (which is Nissan claim) I'm not that much excited by this creative innovation. The media is different but the idea remains the same.”

Fr « Carambolage automobile avec ces deux idées identiques pour des marques concurrentes. Ça sent la fatigue? En espérant que les jurys créatifs ne se laissent pas endormir. »

    I think the ideas look similar, but are different. The first one is about a girl departing the « relationship lane » while her boyfriend is asleep. The other is about departing a « seat lane » when falling asleep. Perhaps the latter one was inspired by the original, but I wouldn’t call it a clear copycat.
