ad not get in instant, especially for cars means failure
Not seeing the point of him wearing women's shoes. As for the execution, something looks off. Like it wasn't even shot. Looks like a photoshop comp.
I don't really understand the idea either.

I always love when a new member appears to give 10 stars to a bad ad.
What is it actually? is he wearing a women's shoe and he got embarrassed cuz the lights are showing that (which doesn't give a reason for him being wearing that red shoe) or is he hiding a lady under the steering and he got cought cuz of the lights?! (makes a bit of sense but so complicated and the shoe dimension doesn't work either..) Dunno what's happening.
Skoda needs to push the envelope a bit. This is fun. Cutes design idea. After all good heels aren't cheap! ;)

the copy doesn't elaborate the idea in the visual. if they have approved so big copy, why not spotlight the idea a bit..

I think this is bloody fantastic. The brief was create a print ad highlighting this feature called automatic ambient lighting. This is fun. It definitely made me smile. They could have come up with something totally boring. At the same, I am aware that a lot of straight men would balk at this. This is an ad that would appeal to women, gay men, and straight men with a sense of humor.

The man in the car doesn't want to be noticed, ergo the ambient light, just enough light to see where you step. Door closes, light off . . . whew, nobody saw him. He could be a cross dresser or ?????
pjn
i think it would have been better if the light was shining on something else like dog poop, gum, or a muddy puddle. something that you wouldn't want to step in. the man wearing heels doesn't do it for me, it's almost random.
I believe they were going for the idea that with the lights, even he feels dainty.
