The advertisement draws immediate attention to the picture of the cats, which is followed by the next biggest thing on the ad.  The text that explains both what each animal is known for and their characteristics.  Which reflects to the performance of the car both being able to be powerful and agile when you want it to be vs it can be fuel efficient and casual when you need it.

- The time is large to tell the consumer that even at X hour they are open.  
-Chose a night background to show sort've the same thing the clock did, that at night when no one is awake they are open. 

This billboard is to show that they are open 24 hours and they used the logo as a night light to signify that they are still up.  The clock shows that even at anytime they are still open.  Which reinstates the idea of being open 24 hrs.  The night background is also at night again to signify that it is late, and also let's the txt and brand stand out more.
