Hasta La Motion!

Fiat’s Super Bowl advertising campaign in 2015, “Blue Pill”, introduced the 2016 Fiat 500X Crossover. Set in Pitigliano, Tuscany, Italy, the commercial begins with a man (Constantino Boni) frantically searching through the bathroom medicine chest for some help with a romantic encounter with the woman of his dreams (Adele Pandolfi). His attempt to take the last blue pill does not go so well. The camera follows the blue pill skipping across rooftops, down a drain pipe, bouncing off villa walls, pinging across cafe tables and eventually dropping into the open fuel tank of a red two-door Fiat 500. Excitement all round as the car morphs into the 2016 Fiat 500X Crossover. The commercial was first released at the October 2014 Paris Motor Show during the FIAT brand’s global reveal of the all-new 2016 FIAT 500X.
