Default What advert?

Ok, here's a good subject.

What would make a good S2000 TV ad?

I reckon taking the mick out of that damn Zoom-Zoom ad would be good.

Often.

Definitely.
Also that crappy Daddy Cool Vauxhall one !

Must admit I love the WHATIF one but it would probably benefit from being backed up by ads which actually showcase their products.

Perhaps a groups shot showing the whole range of cars including CTR, ATR, S2000 and NSX would impress the public. It should do !

Soemthing like:-

Driver gets in, puts the roof down in 6 seconds, revs the engine, screams off to 9k, second, 9k, third, 9k.....etc. then slams the anchors on. Camera cuts to big cheesy grin on driver and terrified passenger.

Cut to caption "What if......."


Of course it would never get past the censors, it would be more like:-

Driver gets in, puts the roof down in 6 seconds, revs the engine, puts the car in first and crawls past a speed camera at 29 on a deserted dual carriageway with a 30 limit. Pulls onto motorway with lane 3 blocked by tailgaters all doing 60, lane 2 with cotton tops in Metros all doing 45 and a clear inside lane with a policeman holding a laser on the hard shoulder.

Cut to caption "What if......"

You cynical thing MarkB! Scarily close to the truth, you cannot depict travelling at speed in adverts anymore, in case it incites the Max Power contingent.

Speaking of adverts, I saw the new CRV advert last night, WTF is that all about? Total Crap , if thats as good as Honda can manage then lets hope they dont do an advert for the S2000 as it would cost them rather than gain them sales.

Seeing as we all have a 'passion' for our car, and that we know it's got a somewhat split personality - well behaved in traffic (most of the time!), complete beast on the open road, then I think it should be similar to that Kinder Bueno advert (crap chocolate but top advert)

Instead of: I want you to lick my ripples - Bite me, bite me, bite me!

Would be: I want you to push my button - Drive me, drive me, drive me!

S2000 - I'll be whatever you want me to be!!

Or "I want you to push my button - Drive me! Oh yes, VTEC me! Faster! Harder!" (That's what I keep hearing from my car anyway )
