Re: Lexus Hybrid commercials

okay, so this isn't really a commercial, however, I absolutely love it and think it is hilarious.

+ YouTube Video

I've actually seen a couple of these aired, I can't imagine how much BMW paid for that long of a time slot.

Maybe they're designed to appeal to the upwardly mobile snob, but that sure isn't me. Maybe paying 10 grand extra for an SUV hybrid that gets the same mileage as a normal V8 one does appeals to the green factor in some, but to me that's 10 grand wasted.

And..if Volt's debut is accompanied by commercials like those, it's dead meat, IMO. The present one ("The Future Hums") is decent, if not earth shattering.

Is the Volt commercial you posted supposed to be an example of something good or something awful? Because it was awful.

Perhaps, grasshopper. But not nearly as bad as the Lexi commercials.

Well, at least Porsche knows who its buyers are, i.e. "little" boys.

But, yeah, its too long. I almost fell asleep.
