Porsche always have great commercials. Just like the one were the kid misses the bus and the Father takes him to school in his black Porsche.

Where's the s2000 commercials? I would like to see this. One of the best commercials made was the WRX's commercials. You see the driver driving, hear the exhaust screaming, shifting, moving. Just a bada$$ commercial just like the Porsche ones.

Honda, please make a commercial of the s2000 like those!

An S2000 advert, damn I missed those.
It was a black screen with the S2000 tacho on it, as the revs built up it flashed up little messages like bye-bye Audi TT, goodbye Boxster, SLK etc. very minimalist but quite

I gave the Beck a serious look, I saw one at the vintage races at Summit Point (A MUST if you're in the DC area)
but the swing axel rear suspension scared me away. But DANM it was cool! It so small it looks like a clown car.


Can a single man have TWO?!! toy cars?

i haven't seen the ad yet but can add a few comments on porsches old and new....i actually owned a REAL 550 many years ago....i traded a speedster for it and we all figured the current value then at about $ 1600.00..after some restoration i sold it for $5000.00and thought i made a good profit....the same car sold in europe several years ago for over $750,000.00!!!!![ok..not my dumbest move, but close to it..] i happen currently have a beck 550[actually a thunder ranch,as tom mcburnie ,of miami vice-fake-ferrari fame,..he bought beck out]..and it's actually a pretty neat car....the swing axles aren't as bad as one might think,as long as you keep skinny tires on it.....i also keep a '58 356 coupe around to stay connected to the true porsche tradition...the real bottom line here is as a owner of cool porsches both real and fake, i chose not to get a boxter when it first appeared..it seemed too fat and,well, not as i thought a porsche should be....however when i saw my first real s2000 in tokyo in 1999 i just had to have one....when i had a chance to get a silver/red in nov of '99 it took about 45 minutes to do the paperwork and drive away... the funny thing was that the honda dealership was right nextdoor to the porsche-audi and with honda's huge gouging, the out the door price of the s2000 was on par with a stripped boxter....i drove the s2k right by the lot full of boxters with a smile on my face that's still there.
