Fair enough! I think it's probably just my inner cinematographer coming out.

It's a hard sell when the US gets the poverty spec variant of the 86

That ad makes me want to drift in to the supermarket carpark with my Grandad's screams drowned out by the massive F1 engine noise just to spite em..

I cracked a grin as realization dawned around what gender the driver was in the fourth Jap clip and what they were doing during it.

Also notice the nannies off in the start of that clip?

Honestly none of these feel like real ads to me. They feel more like the 2nd runners up in some kind of contest to produce an ad for Toyota... (like the Dorito entries/commercials from awhile back)

I honestly love this trailer. I'm sick of people bitching about why I bought a car that can't haul more than 2 people.

Because they're catering to an American audience and we Americans are all arrogant and punchable sounding.

I found those particular Japanese commercials a bit boring as well, except for the one of the woman driving. I liked that one. I preferred the Subaru BRZ one from a few years ago with the Japanese guy and his father. That one actually tugged at the heartstrings a bit.

This commercial is heavily edited between two different red 86's


I don't own one of these 86 cars, but I own a FRS from 2013;

But this commercial made me walk down to my garage and stare at my FRS, and then next thing you know, I'm driving my car around my city with no destination.

Idk, usually people go "OMG, I better get one before they sell out" or want to be exclusive. If they didnt special editions wouldn't come out every year.

Also, the marketing kinda makes sense in the be a rebel and get a true sports car/midlife crisis but cant afford a Corvette demographic. If you want to get grocies and drive grandma around buy a Camry hybrid loaded with options for $30k+
