Is anyone else confused by this advertising?

Scion needs more of these commercials:[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7jBnYS_Ot8"]2013 Scion FR-S Teaser (Extended) [HD] - YouTube[/ame]

It gets worse from here folks:

I wish so badly I could just take over the Scion ad campaign.

This makes me happy we don't have Scion in Australia.

This is how Toyota promotes the 86 in Aus.

What's really great about that Drift King ad is the little touches like the 2000GT making a cameo and the 8mm filter giving it a retro 70's/80's look harking back to the time when Toyota was in fact the king of lightweight affordable RWD cars i.e. Celica RA28, AE86 Corrola, SW10 MR2.

And they gave them an automatic to drive, none the less...

If anyone at Scion is paying attention...

...this is how you sell a car

I do like the first video. The juxtaposition of your current life and how "unfree" the guys feel (based on reactions) and the idea of regaining the freedom of youth by buying an 86 works well.

That second one is pretty bad though.

This is the only FR-S commercial that I have seen on TV.

I have seen some of the others on YouTube, but, that's it.

Scion needs to realize that people who buy this car are those who have heard that they can regain driving enjoyment again.

I think that aside from the above, we are a pretty diverse demographic. Taking obscure singers, skateboarders, and artists and throwing them in an FR-S is backwards. These people may enjoy the car, but, we are not all artists and hipsters.

They would have been better off doing a montage of forum members talking about how they love driving the car if they wanted testimonials. Show some of us driving the Tail of the Dragon at the same time.

While this ad isn't the best (By far) it does show (Like other have said) that anyone can have fun in this car.


But I will say that Scions marketing is part of the reason I bought this car.

I haven't seen Subaru showing up at Formula D events and sponsering drivers or giving all kinds of free gear away. but Scion sure is.

Even before The FRS showed up they were out there supporting the sport of drifting. Hope fully they can pass nissan and ford in the Formula D Manufacturer cup ( Lexus is in First)


We need these guys to step it up:
