RE: Has Britain's 'Coolest Brand' Dropped A Clanger?

Think this is my first post but I'm compelled to state what complete and utter arse gravy that promo is.

Shame on you Aston

If 'it' was so important, they obviously wouldn't all be travelling in the same car.

Absolutely. Two Aston Martin Cygnets would be the obvious choice, environmentally friendly too!

Who was the driver, Elvis or Michael Jackson

Thats about as cool as driving an AMV8 with reference to 007 on your numberplate.

[g3org3y]

English doing it worse than the Germans shocker.

That 'film' was about as cool as AIDs. Cannot believe it was watched in the boardroom after production and signed off for release. I'd love to suggest it is supposed to be tongue in cheek, but I don't think that's the case.

Remember those cool BMW films from a few years ago? That's how to do car marketing.

Indeed. Of course the budgets were huge but let's be honest, either do it properly or don't do it at all. The AM film is laughable by comparison.

AM, you're fired.

Astons are cars by chavs, for chavs - all mouth and not enough trouser.

I think we must have a different definitions of the word chav.

[Bobdenero]

AM produce some really good looking cars (not keen on the droptops)but this promo is just cack!

[Ali2202]

That is fking woeful!

[LordRoppongi]

Terrible! What a waste of money

[Bavarianbeauty]

This just confirms my opinion that people who work in advertising and marketing are largely w*nkers! Astons are cool anyway without all this drivel. Although they wont be for much longer if they carry on like this...

I am now strangely compelled to watch on the 19th to see what happens to our multi-talented quartet of smirking douchebags.

Apparently they get run over by a Panamera.

What was the point of the baddy flicking over his Jaeger LeCoultre? All you saw was a mechanism and 25 jewels?

Because J-LC are the "official" watch supplier to Aston Martin and its customers ( No, I dont geddit either), so its a bit of brand marketing for them too...

In next weeks edition, they will show a DBR9 driver wearing Hackett and...

They have a different time zone on the back side, don't they?

Some do, I have a reverso grande date and mine doesn't.

If the point of this film is to get people anticipating the next 'instalment', for whatever reason, Schadenfreude included, then it could be said that it's working.

You see, MGM? You see what happens when you delay a Bond film? Amateurs can and will step up to the mark - and we all suffer for it!

What will these marketing muppets come up with next; We've had bamboo interiors, glass starter buttons, "power, beauty, soul" patronizing bks, footballers wives exhaust notes, Toyota's in drag and now a short film so ludicrous that not even the coke fueled marketing executives who are presumably the target of this crap will be able to avoid nausea.

How about an Aston Martin IQ test and an Aston Martin Tampon for the cupid stunts who produce and value this nonsense.

I'm guessing you don't like the Gaydon cars and prefer your purists car

[bakerjuk]

Oh dear god... There is competition for Avatars award for "Movie with the least %age of plot investment"

Who are they aiming this at? Surely their demographic is senior managers/directors who most likely have an IQ above 50. I only mention this because this is so cheesy and immature that it feels like it will only entertain a base moron or a 7 year old. Either way, total waste of time and money.

Thats not to say I don't like the car though.
