That new Renault add..

[Flanders.]

What a pile of fking Horse st. That is all.

One with the huge swing? I quite like it and it looks like fun. Wonder if it could be done?

[Accelebrate]

Just seen it... 'Electric Cars for Everyone'. Good for you Renault.

Wrong brand of french ste mate, unfortunately!! That's citroen!

[CatherineJ]

That's the Citroen advert not the Renault.

The one that claims they're launching a range of 'zero emissions' vehicles? I presume said vehicles will be powered by love, pixie dust and an undeserved sense of superiority? It's not 'zero emissions' at all, you disingenuous clowns. The electricity has to come from somewhere!

In France though (which isn't run by complete morons seemingly) they have nuclear power.... But yes it is a load of horse st.

And not that I ever would have anyway but I would never buy a Renault after seeing that fking garbage.

Note to self: never apply for a job at Renault...

Awful, puke-inducing crap.....

Sorry, but I thought the Ad, the imagery ect was good and provoking - not saying I agree with it al but good luck to them for having the balls to launch it in such a manner.

Better than a lot of the others efforts.

Surely sufficient grounds for a complaint to Ofcom?

You'd think so. I'm much too apathetic/busy to lodge a complaint at the moment, but the advert is clearly misleading people into the belief that their vehicles will be 'zero emission', when it patently isn't the case!

Normally I too would take this view. However, I just thought "sod it" and lodged a complaint on-line. It's not just the generation of the electricity that will cause emissions. I assume from the advert that the cars are going to be manufactured by knitting them out of thin air?

The worst line in the ad is the one where it states "do you think its fair that you can afford a car when others can't afford to get anywhere"
