No really when you consider they are the ones selling and marketing the 86 in North America instead of "Toyota" and their Motorsport heritage.

So Jack Hollis thought this commercial would sell cars?

Don't know if JH "personally approved this message", but it does follow the their of advertising for this specific car for what it is, quarky.

Honestly, I found it interesting enough that if I were in the market for that size car, I would now look at it. I think it did a decent job of showing some of the performance of the car, and the interior room while "making you look".

Then again, I've always liked any company that was willing to take a light-hearted look at their own products and not take themselves too seriously. YMMV

I was listening to ESPN radio today and the host talked about this commercial. He said, "I don't have a clue what car company it was, but I'll find out when I go to watch this commercial again." haha I just started cracking up
