    Default Strange Car ads on TV

    Does anybody else fail to understand what the new Camry ad is trying to tell us, when a guy drives a new Camry to a cliff-top, then dives off the cliff?

    Maybe the experience was so bad he felt he had to neck himself, I dunno.

    I guess I'd fell like doing that too if I had to drive another Camry. Hate the bloody things.

    Some car ads are really clever, like the Toyota "Bugger" ad a few years ago, but these days, they seem to just use CGI and static pics to show off the car.

    Anybody got comments about other car ads they've seen, good or bad?

    I'd love to see an ad for the new GT-R Skyline or 370Z limiter bouncing while getting sideways up a highway on-ramp. Won't happen though

    The one where the guy has that ute and it falls off the cliff is funny, where it's like a montage of him being upset and then he finds it on the beach

    This one's also a good one:

    And here's one from 1982, featuring none other than The Stig!

    The VU ad above was probs one of my favourites.

    I thought this one was quite clever:

    The VU SS ad doing donuts with Thunderstruck playing was definitely the best.

    Hah, that Hyundai ad was actually banned here in Australia, from memory it was because it "encouraged underage driving"....yeah right.

    It was ran for a while everywhere and then banned. Apparently it was to do with him skidding onto the road or something.

    There's no skidding anywhere in that ad. It was banned because of the circle work, period.
