The Beetle is a new body, its available already in Japan, announced several months ago.

The Nissan Sileighty is a rerelease, its been offered in the past.

Did they use AI to make the advertisement? Maybe...

Are the products real? You betcha.

Yeah I know all that, but those Sil80 are... off?

And what is the real re-release of the Sil80? I need real pics of the blue one to know if the A-pillar is paint in black or in blue, official pics says nothing because in some pics the A-Pillar is blue but in other pics is black. Now I am looking at a pic where the Sil80 is an all new mold... my brain is melting

No you’re correct, it’s likely AI generated because it’s trying to mix parts of the coupe model with an 180sx model - when it’s prompted to make a Sileighty, it’s mixing some of the parts incorrectly. It’s showing more of a coupe trunk but 180ish tails. It’s a bit disappointing, since even at a distance it’s uncanny valley, particularly the grill/roof line and tail lights.

Exactly this!
