Saw it a little while ago.

By far the best car ad I've seen this year (possible exception of the Lexus hybrid one, but that's just for Kylie)

The kid is brilliant - manages to appear startled even when wearing a Vader mask.

I like the way he manages the 'did anyone else see that?!?!' spin towards the kitchen window at the end.

I think historically VW have done some pretty amusing ads, just a shame Youtube is blocked at work or id get some samplesfrown

That is brilliant. Sadly I feel it'll be banned in the UK for being too enjoyable. Car ads these days seem to be apologising for the fact they're advertising cars. Apart from the Mazda ad, obviously.

Dont think it will be on tv so wont get banned. Sadly, this one got pulled because it gave the impression of speed. My fav car ad of all time. (shame about the car)

Yes, saw it when it was released during the SuperBowl but still raises a smile now.

Love the bit when he is trying to draw his sandwich toward himself and his mum just slides it across to him. laugh

I remember that advert. It briefly made me want my Dad to buy one (his response was "A Nissan? A NISSAN?! Pah!")

Saw it for the first time last night - funny as hell. A shame it was the left hand drive model so I wondered if it was actually a German advert "dubbed" for us...

I love it.

The new Volvo V60 is a good parody of car ads and works well to keep you involved in the advert even if the product may suck

There have been a couple of spoofs, one "official" for another product :

(some nice touches in the second one, like the name of the dog and the number plate of the car).

Love this Golf MK VI advert. Notice how many guys fighting there are. Very clever.
