New movies sure help them get even younger population to watch that classic.
Its nice of them to pick Rei for contribution of their town, hopefully they will earn money from it, Rei is awesome. :3

Anyway, it's a good way to make tourists have some 'extra' in their visit.

That's because Asuka would only ride on a BMW, and certainly wouldn't share it :p

When I was in Hakone in November 2010, the place already had quite a lot of Evangelion promotion. No, surprise seeing this being made as well.

Makes sense, Rei fits the Yamato Nashiko image more.
By that, i mean she kinda LOOKS the part ('cept for the blue hair) whereas Asuka is the personification of gaijin. Still like Asuka better though XD

That said, cool electReic car...
