That was awesome. One of the best made commercial spoofs I have ever seen.

"Doors - check, windows - check, bells and whistles - NOT ON MY WATCH!"


You gotta build one on the site...hilarious. Realized it is a Subaru add. Funny marketing campaign.

You dont drive in the middle of the road.. but now you can drive middle of the road.

Very clever... Almost as smart as the recent Audi Ads...

Subaru needs to up the performance/handling mantra. Yeah, we know they're AWD, but you think its more about safety than performance.

It's actually the 1st gen Kia Optima (Sonata cousin).





Kia can't be too pleased with this ad.

Seems to me that the new Optima could be used in a "superiority" commercial...
