Is anyone else confused by this advertising? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I am 26 and this does NOT make me want to buy a Scion, let alone an FR-S!

At least this vid is better than that lame 10 series commercial with the robotic announcements of each 10 series model...holy crap that ad agency is terrible, lol

No wonder Toyota thinks there worst selling brand is scion they hire monkeys on cocaine for the advertising.

One of the reasons i bought a brz, and i actually thought about all the reasons for buying subaru, was i like there comercials better. Like the one with the kid and the father and when the kid gets old he buys a subaru just like dad, and he gives the dad the keys or whatever and the dad just keeps looking over the car, or something like that. That comercial speaks to me way more then this crap.

That was literally the first commercial I saw for the BRZ/FRS:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb0wS8xjT3E"]New Subaru BRZ 2013 Japan Funny Commercial - 2013 New Car Review HD - YouTube[/ame]

I wish there was an U.S. version, I don't know but this speaks words about car culture I have no idea what they are saying but I understand it deeply simply because of the car.

It should have read "Scion invited six douchebag's and a film student....."

Sigh. Scion's thinks they need the retard market, I guess.

That Subaru commercial is very touching .
It's got drama , love , anger, tradition and a lot of passion .
Well done

Subaru commercial turn into ford mustang commercial in the states! I'm a marketing genius!!

charged86 · 07-13-2013, 12:45 AM

that was the dumbest shit i have ever seen.

after watching the second time i think i know what the vid was trying to do. It was to show and engauge people of the age range that buys scions (their market) that even though you seldom drive or that your not a car enthusiast, Scion can wake up the car interest in you.

having trouble wording this

Ha! They saw it sitting there, no one claiming it. Just makes good business sense.

I can't wait to get home so I can actually see this horrendous commercial. I think I have a pretty good idea of what it's like, just from these comments.
