Fiat Gets One Up on VW

Frv - - 12/06/12

Cheeky staff at Fiat's headquarters in Sweden have used Google Street View to get one over on their arch rivals Volkswagen.

Fiat's workers spotted the Google Street view car, which captures panoramic views of locations around the world with a roof camera, driving past its offices and quickly drove to Södertälje 45 minutes away to Volkswagen's head office.

A staff member driving a red Fiat 500 car - its latest model - then parked right in front of the Volkswagen's Swedish headquarters' front entrance just as the Google street view car drove past.

VW must now put up with the image for a year or so - the average time it takes Google to update its Street View imagery.

I wonder how long it will last

A year? We're going on 3 or more for street view images around here. It would be impossible to do the US in less than 5 I'd think. Sweden is much smaller.
