Rally-bred, street cred (in Palm Springs)

[rollo]

I saw this commercial on the TV this morning, it's the latest in a series of increasingly stupid local Subaru spots..

http://www.subarugreatescapes.com/

Apparently the WRX demographic is dim late-20s white couples?

I like the end bit.. "guys, we just think it _looks_ cool!" (confused look on driver's face.. like, even I know it doesn't look cool).

Kinda sounds like he says "boxter engine" too..

[BorkedWRX]

wow, that commercial makes me want to punch everyone in that car...

I think I may have lost a few IQ points by watching that, thanks :-/

[I Like It Sideways]

I don't even know what to say about that...
It does sound like he said boxter, but I'd hope the script said "boxer"

[sebhockey]

Wow that was amazingly bad

[Blix666]

"guys...we just think it looks cool!"




ugghh...

[Drew84]

Hey, "where all about looking cool here" nobody likes a car that performs....

[RALLYxISH728]

My co-worker told me about this commercial, garbage...

:jack:

[BlackParis]

rolfs.. I could have done amazing things with my life before seeing that commercial....

[Galen]

I actually started crying during that commercial... not sure if it was the fact that the WRX has gone in the wrong direction or the "guys, we just think it looks cool..."

[L and E Fab.com]

Is shorter wheel base with a wider track the wrong direction?

Or chrome grill, and funky tail lights?

IMHO the sedan is dumb but the hatchback is tits.

[L and E Fab.com]

I finally watched the video.

I am sorry but I could make a better video with my camera phone.

all though the "We think it looks cool girl" is hot!

[rllyrckt]

i just wasted a minute of my life i will never get back...damn you lame commercials, but yeah the girl is hot si it was a "little" worth it

[UP2MTNS]

I like the end bit.. "guys, we just think it _looks_ cool!" (confused look on driver's face.. like, even I know it doesn't look cool).


the confused look is, "hey, what are girls doing in the car? I thought we were 'roadtripping to Palm Springs' for a whole lot of butt pirate action?"




and why the hell do you care about 'suspension' or AWD in Palm Springs? Jesus, they at least could have been driving to Aspen or something.....oh wait, I bet it still comes stock with the RE-92s.....no, palm springs makes much more sense now.

[Bampalo]

The video does not seem to work on a mac, but judging from the replies this may be a good thing.

[409industries]

the video didnt work for me either... i want to see this "We think it looks cool girl". LOL

[rollo]

Oh boy. It's gone from the site but there are two, yes count 'em two versions on YouTube, both uploaded by the director himself!

First the ad itself:
qTbVXDZkrEw

And now the 'dialog' version (?):
QBDDpDx62ic

SPORT-TUNED, FOUR-WHEEL, INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION!!


When he says that his "WRX is really packed with power" it reminds me of this:
zWBAvE6yqUs

:lol:

[UP2MTNS]

I'm quite sure when those two actors saw that it was really a car commercial, they looked at each other and said,

"but I could have sworn that was a gay porn script!?"

"we had the super-ghey 'knuckle punch' and everything?"







oh, and MEOW!

[Davis10]

Is shorter wheel base with a wider track the wrong direction?

Or chrome grill, and funky tail lights?

IMHO the sedan is dumb but the hatchback is tits.

Yea I can't wait to see what it can do next year in the WRC! Although, I am being careful to not get my hopes too high.

[RS-ti_Andy]

dang.. the new videos dont work either..lol must have been that bad eh?

[worldrallyblue]

must of... I am a tad bit dissapointed right now that I couldnt watch this amazing video about the wrx's boxter engine.... I actually am though....

[carl]

dammit, I want to watch the terrible commericials but the vids have been removed

[409industries]

dammit, I want to watch the terrible commericials but the vids have been removed

[munozppk]

BTW.

The videos embedding was disabled. just copy the urls.




And yeah.. STUPID COMMERCIAL! Im so speechless about it. Its just so disappointing.

[vaderSTI]

i double clicked on the video and it worked. the cammercial all i can say is.......wow

[ramenbuoy]

hahaha. I love that commercial posted by munoz. that video always makes me crack a smile. I love it how they threw it in VWs face haha.

anyways... if you could just post up the links that would be awesooommme....
But reading the comments of the people who posted previous to me, made me think of this.

When a rally car shows up in F&F you start wondering.... subaru has become pretty main-stream huh? I remember when the first STi showed up. Although, I hear alot more of "Isn't that the car with the Porsche engine?" So I don't know if the general popularity of the WRX is a good thing....
