UFO crashes in Potters Fields Park as part of Vauxhall promotion
The launch of the next-generation Vectra (or Insignia, as it has become) has been a long time coming, and Vauxhall is making good and sure everyone notices now that its time has arrived. As part of an elaborate marketing scheme, the automaker crashed a UFO in Potters Fields Park in London, and there was even a fence, men in dark glasses that were evidently mute and copious amounts of smoke to set the scene. Just how this relates to a new motorcar? You've got us there.

Can we preemptively give out Darwin awards? We can?

SuperSexyErik come on down!
What the hell is with this lately? Like all of a sudden the collective IQ of the world dropped to Phillip J Fry levels......wait.....does anyone see giant floating brains zapping things outside?
^
What a bunch of losers.
so your the guy who got all of Clarksons tickets?
haha! good one.
Top gear is possibly the best on tv. 8 on sunday, im always there waiting.
HA! No first for you !!
Awesome!!!
Sure.. thats what they want you to believe!!
Obviously the men in black got their first.
There, They're, Their... I dont think MIB comments on engadget...
I miss they days when comments had thought and meaning....
first thing i thought when i saw it was that it looked like a prop from a 747
I think a lot of the comments have thought into it, as for meaning, maybe try a different internet, you might find it there.
P.S. When did they start putting props on 747's? Makes me glad I haven't been on a 747 lately.
Seriously people, stop with the "FIRST!!" posts. It's not funny, makes you look like an ass, and is hardly an accomplishment.
FIRST!!!
(now it's funny)
By the way, it's not an ad, they're building another NY-London tunel. That was a real tunel, right? I saw real people on the other side.
no point saying things that those feeble minds can't understand
I kind of got excited by this ploy and searched for pictures of this car thinking the design would be so revolutionary it just might have come from outer space. Unfortunately I was greatly dissapointed by just another run of the mill luxury vehicle.
Luxury?! The Vectra is Opel's bread and butter business, its Civic if you will.
Why is this filed under Tablet PCs???
Giant floating brains. They're everywhere. Bualbugabulubulu bu.
I believe...
UFO, SHMUFUO-bama is my slave

Any sign of a police box parked nearby? Might not be the only alien thing there...
Doctor Who only goes to Cardiff, silly.
Or Cardiff that's made to look London.
Yeah, it also comes with an ipod for you and your sheep friends.
Wow. They disguise their coverups as marketing.
Brilliant.
Vauxhall is just taking the fall for it, not to mention the credit.
Beings of light appeared to me in my dreams, their souls were so pure they assumed the form of a blue/white cloud, and had no need for physical bodies.
All they said was the ufo will be real....that was 4 days ago in my sleep.
Thats it, too many reposts and crappy posts (http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/18/emotional-robot-has-empathy-understands-your-frustration/). I'm switching to Giz.
Good riddance.
It's actually an alien blender blade. It blends everything, including the new car.
It's probably used to make soylent green.
747's don't have props.
Stevo I think he meant a Ni/Ti/Al superalloy Rolls-Royce Trent 700 thermal barrier coated turbine. Does that satisfy your planespotter lust?
They have turbines, however.
I think even Phillip J. Fry is smarter then these idiots.
lol... nice
Bloody Torchwood. Captain Jack is going to pay for this one. Where is the Doctor when you need him!
Running around in the TARDIS as always. (I'd love to meet that man one day... ^_^)
Trapped 1 second out of sync with the universe in the Medussa Cascade.
My CPU cooler is bigger.
Do you use punch cards to input data as well?
Hopefully "The Doctor" knows about this and can sort it. If not him, Downing Street had best call Torchwood.
To make it real they should have gotten the government to issue a press blackout and when you take a picture have people yell at you to stop...
Now if we could only get you to do this for nearly every other Engadget article, we'd be getting somewhere.
And there's no blue Police Box in the background? And you call yourself Brits!
Yes we do and Vauxhall is the australian arm of opel.
Vauxhall is the British arm, Holden the Australian and Opel European.
you are gay
THANK YOU Captain Obvio---- wait what?
