jagcars26 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 They all are better then the "Dust in the Wind"mistake. plus, I still cant stand the looks of the B9,,in pictures OR in person. I liked the Forester,,Outback just ok. Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegGTLT Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Was that a sexual reference at the end of the Forester commercial? "Whichever way you go" then the pics of the man/woman symbols all tied together. Hmmm... Subaru is moving out there a bit! I like it! The music is far and above better then what I've heard from SOA before. Much more "modern" I guess? Not sure how to summarize it... Please PM joeleodee For All Site Questions.

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 The beginning of the Forester ad reminded me of that Legacy game where you guide the car around the track. I thought the circles at the end were going to turn into a model of Fallopian Tubes The B9 is just horrible. The Outback one was ultra gay- and are they changing the roofrails for the 06's? The one in the commercial had the flush mounted ones a la Legacy wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tantal Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 OMFG, if subaru develops any more of gay image than it already has, it will actually be difficult to continue owning my car.

PhilT Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 A little bird told me that Subaru is working on new TV campaign for the 06 models, and the following videos are some of the candidates: Forester B9 Outback Discuss. If the "little bird" that gave you this info is looking for some feedback before making the full length commercials, you had better tell them to start again from scratch. All three are way off mark with the homo theme. Concentrate on telling people how good the cars are, not how gay you have to be to drive one. Nothing against gays, but it isn't going to sell cars !

The little bird should take his boyfriend's member out of his mouth for long enough to get off his political agenda. makes me want to join the anti-fag movement; in the past I've been against it, but shit like this is too much in your face. Definately ditching my car if I see crap like this on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfd425 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 The commercials are out there all right, but they certainly wouldn't make me get rid of my LGT, or discourage me from buying another Subaru. I bought the car for what it is; if I was that concerned about image, I would have bought another slow, unreliable Audi. I think those commercials would be fine in the appropriate context, e.g. thrown on to the DVDs of "The 'L' Word", or in late-night reruns of the Ellen show on the Oxygen channel or whatever. They might generate a bad reaction in network prime-time, although there's a school of thought that says any publicity is good publicity. I have to admit, I would prefer that they emphasize the female couples in the commercials rather than the male couples. Gay males probably have more money to spend on cars, though.

raz-0 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 well they look like fairly complete pre-vis. If they aren't pre-vis, they might want to get 3d artists who make the car models actually have the proportions of the real thing. They just don't look quite right to me. As for the homosexual theme, it is exceptionally heavy handed. I'm exceedingly tolerant of alternative lifestyles, and it turned me off. What you drive and what you have sex with are really not related. Saying "hey, we like gay people, so could you gay people buy our cars," doesn't make your vehicles of higher quality or better features. They don't even make the car more emotionally appealing. At best it might make the brand more emotionally appealing and thus get some foot traffic in dealerships. If they were made up for video billboards or something like that at a targeted event subaru was sponsoring, they'd be appropriate. On prime-time tv? I think it could hurt.
