Animal Print Archives - cars & life blog

Finally a car company offers an animal print with a car, I suggested this more than a year ago but I meant for interior not for exterior! Mini created an exhibition model covered with animal skin, a bit different from my idea. Exterior of this Mini is like an animal skin, I am sure it is fake but it is very well done job!

This car is a normal Mini Cooper inside but the outside is totally matching with any fashion season! This is sexy looking car is unfortunately cannot be sold! It is only for show purpose. I know many women customers desire to own one, but it would be really hard to maintain the animal exterior clean!

If you want to see this car, just go to Mini Park Lane in London. And there are some fashion tips matching with the Mini! For this car, the best matching song is, Sexy and I Know It by LMFAO

Last week I saw the pink Fiat 500 for the first time. Of course, this is not something very unusual; pink is normal colour like red, blue or white. The interesting point when you offer pink as a colour option in a car, you directly targeted to women customers. Probably no man will ever buy a pink coloured car! Okay, may be a very cheap pink Bugatti Veyron can find some men customers but in general terms pink is for women.

Offering pink in colour range of a car is a risky decision. Some of the potential men customers place the car into “ignore it” section and you might loss some customers. On the other hand, it can be beneficial! Women customers tend to shop quicker than men, this is something very clear :)

This can make the pink colour as a reasonable option in automotive industry. Especially I can suggest this for Mercedes CLC! As the CLC is a total catastrophe, what can go wrong more? Just add pink colour to option list and you might have some new women customers. Actually Fiat 500 and Nissan Micra are offered in pink colour, honestly I did not see them on street that much but I am pretty sure that some people bought them.

However, the car companies do not take more serious action. Once you ruined the image of car by offering pink don’t stop there! Continue! And animal print option for interior. I am serious, just imagine. A pink Fiat 500 with animal print interior. If this car does not sell, I will not talk about car again! How I came up to this point? Just look at Vogue or Elle, everything is in animal print. Cheap brand, luxury brands, all of them are offering this.

I guess after the collaboration with Land Rover and Victoria Beckham, we can see these kind of interesting combination in Land Rover vehicles.
