mccorry Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I found this to be an astounding marketing position.

itsme Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 But it says the car got a 4 star crash rating. I thought 5 star was the top rating? Should'nt they crow if they had a 5 star rating?

jerami1981 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 nort to steal the thread or anything, but this reminds me of another kind of commercial http://boss.streamos.com/real/adcouncil/seat_belts/seatbelt_tv_enclave_30_rp.smi?siteid=aef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzymt Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I don't think it's a terribly original idea, or a very interesting commercial. You get some anoying banter, a candid car crash, and an "oh s-" ... "Safe happens"?? Gimme a break. Their "unpimp" commericals were a lot more entertaining and original, even if they were silly.

The B4 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Have you seen the new tribeca commercial? it directly attacks touraeg and the x5 on crash tests. Me thinks it's time for subaru to do an impreza commercial. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt_ltd Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 what should the impreza attack? here is a list of competitors from edmunds.com: honda civic vw jetta ford focus mazda 3 what i would like to see is better legacy gt wagons and sedans commercials that attack bimmer's, audi's, and the like.

eamiller Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 But it says the car got a 4 star crash rating. I thought 5 star was the top rating? Should'nt they crow if they had a 5 star rating? Yes, I found it interesting that VW was touting their 4-star frontal crash rating. It seems that VW actually took a step backwards, as the previous Jetta was a 5-star frontal. They did swap their stars over to the side impact though, went from a 4-star to a 5 star. I think somebody at VW screwed up. I'll take the quadruple 5-star Outback/Legacy over the Jetta any day.

Do some research and you`ll see that VW`s suck no matter where they are made. its funny cause tis true.... VW should use that trebuchet from teh "Unpimp your auto" commercial and launch a VW with people in it... seeing people walk away from that is way cooler. i duno how many people have been in a serious crash in a Buru, but i have... those uncutable 11 folds of steel in the B pillar saved me and my friends life. http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/9036/ripsubie3ah.jpg subie for the bigW "i like my women the way i like terrorists... ...screaming gods name and ready to explode." http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5479/troy3nu5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
