I think that the slogan in the bus is a direct translation from Spanish, being "Nothing is impossible" the correct sentence. However, it is part of a marketing campaign from Adidas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkHmV0s3PjE), so, unfortunately, the mistake is probably on purpose. This reminds me the "i'm lovin' it" catch phrase, but wrong, from McDonald's. It seems that these deliberate language mistakes are a new resource in advertising.
