Toyota New Zealand launched a stunning campaign, which promotes the all-new model 2013 Toyota Corolla Levin ZR with a strong emotional message. The brand is targeting all people who love cats and whose hearts just melt the very moment they hear the «purrr» sound. Visitors to the microsite can learn a story about a peach-coloured cat named Alloroc (Corolla backwards), who just fell in love with the model, and spends all its time either staring at the vehicle or travelling to the veterinary hospital in it.

In the end of the major spot, the cat’s paw emerges from a tiny grave, so the story of love apparently goes on.
