Nissan is no stranger to assaults on their competition via their advertising. Their latest and greatest ad campaign has targeted a different competitor. Instead of their usual targets of BMW, Porsche, etc, they have gone after Toyota.

This frontal attack focuses on Nissan's brake override system, which Nissan perfected years ago. However, until recently, know one knew anything about this technology. Due to the recalls from Toyota, now many know about it.

To make things that much better, Nissan has hired Iron Man himself (Robert Downey Jr.) to voice their new campaign.
