Jump into the digital age with a new gauge package from Nordskog Instruments for your older vehicle. Monitor your engine functions and speed with standard size packages or one made specifically for many Ford and General Motors vehicles. The Direct Fit Dash Panel is designed for easy plug-and-play into the vehicle.

Honda Insight ad

Ad innovation
The Honda Insight commericals on TV in the U.S are cute, but it's "Let It Shine" ad for Europe is pretty amazing. It features hundreds of the hybrid's headlights blinking to create patterns and images. This online version "takes over" your screen for a multimedia experience.
