Sorry but I can hardly take this as an ad for a new car. Showing someone in an emergancy situation (broken down) is hardly a commercial for a new car. But I can see your line of thinking. You also get credit for getting lower to take a shot. Overall the photo is not very pleaseing to look at.

Interesting alternate take on the theme, I can see this sort of idea being used for a second hand car dealer or something similar.

Going on that I would say it only sort of works. The colours are a bit off and it isn't particularly sharp, feels like it might have been taken with a phone camera or something similar. The poses also don't work, they should be in some way related to the car. I get that they are standing around waiting for perhaps recovery, but it doesn't particularly speak to me at all. 4 from me.

The composition of this photo doesn't really work for me. I am struggling to see what the main subject is. The car with its hood up makes a large, black area. The people are all looking away, and in most cases, have their back to the camera. The crop includes plenty of road, but is tight at the top. The overall composition seems a little rushed, and more opportunistic than planned.

I don't see how this could be considered a automobile ad

clearly out of the box - it does seem that the ad seems more about the people than the car - but i guess that is the point here....
