By: J.J. McGrath Nobody likes a cheater, but everybody loves the cheetah.
In fact, one of these cool cats had a starring role in "The New Q Campaign" that sped away Wednesday with best-of-show honors in the Newspaper Association of America's 2002 Dandy Awards for excellence in automotive newspaper advertising.
Splitting a $20,000 cash prize for the series that won the Dandy for best ad campaign by a new-car manufacturer were the advertiser -- Infiniti Division of Nissan of North America, Gardena, Calif. -- and its agency -- TBWAChiatDay, Los Angeles. The series appeared in
The Wall Street Journal.
Other Dandy award winners in the manufacturer categories announced during the North American International Auto Show in Detroit were:
* "Cloud Nine, Cloud Ten" -- on behalf of BMW of North America LLC, Woodcliff Lake, N.J., by Fallon Minneapolis in
The Wall Street Journal -- for best manufacturer image ad; and
* "Happy Mother's Day" -- on behalf of Toyota Motor Sales USA Inc., Torrance, Calif., by Saatchi & Saatchi Los Angeles in
USA Today -- for best use of color.
