What a classy ad! Most ads I see, I try to tune out; when I do pay attention, it often leads me to say....out of sheer aggravation....I don't want to buy a product whose ad assaults me. Pet Peeve.....annoying music and sound effects. My mute button gets quite a workout!

That's cool. The white one is a Mitsubishi and the black one may be a Renault.

Not a Renault, but it is French. I think it is a Citroen C-Crosser.
I'm wondering who placed the ad. Dealers here (apart from 2nd hand - pre owned) tend to stick with just one brand.

Not the first time an ad like that has been done, nice but nothing special.

Apparently, the drivers are now 50y.o. and were in driving academies from birth.

Enjoyed it never see a commercial over here that long over 3 minutes, guess air time is cheap over there

Absolutely beautiful.

This is much better than any of the car ads here in the US.

As a sidenote, a head-on collision would be better than the KIA commercials of late. I can't help it but I need to change channels when one of those pops up.

And I also wonder why the J Jacksons, and the A Sharpton's haven't raised all sorts of hell about the costumes and types of drivers portrayed in those KIA commercials. This may be a subconscious view of mine but sorry, I can't help it.

Photoman,

My thoughts exactly !! As I was watching the clip, I was wondering how many cars were used to make that commercial and how many were able to depart under their own power. LOL

I'm sure the three min. were edited from thousands of takes. I knew a girl who grew up in a part of Georgia where some of the movie Smokey and the Bandit was filmed. She said they had a line of about 50 black Trans-Am's lined up to replace the ones they crashed. That would have been fun to watch. I would imagine they only needed one of whatever car Jackie Gleason (Buford T. Justice. ) rode in. They just kept trashing it until the end. One of Mr. Gleason's best performances in my opinion.
