Google Street View Exposes New Porsche Model
ADOTAS – Like many success stories, Google has become as notorious for its ability to enrage other companies in an impressive variety of industries, from swaggering movie studios to pocket-protector wielding tech companies, as it is for its unrivaled achievements in almost every field it enters.
According to a report in the Silicon Alley Insider, Google can add Porsche to its ever-growing list of P.O.’d companies. Why? Google’s equally beloved and maligned Street View photographed a secret test of Porsche’s totally unknown all-new version of its Cayman Boxster.

LOL. There is nothing safe from the all-seeing, all-knowing Google.
Google has just invented a new ad channel/format that takes product placement to a new level. I have to believe that this is not an accident – but a planned PR stunt to generate awareness. If Porche are smart, they’re in on it too.
Vidar,
You’re right. At first, I thought porshe people must be annoyed, but I wonder now if it wasn’t planned all along. That’s sort of the sad thing too. We can’t even enjoy seemingly random moments without wondering if they were prepackaged.
