why can't people make decent car ads today 
T.
Lack of commercials like that is a byproduct of our overly-litigious society.
GM got threatened by dozens of advocacy groups when it made that commercial of a kid dreaming about driving a Corvette and had to pull the ad. Imagine the [censored] it would catch when some dumbasses tried to drive their cars on 2 wheels down the street.
Still, a cool series of commercials though.

Maybe they would have sold some volume of the I-Mark here if a U.S. version aired here (or of its twin, the Chevrolet Spectrum if they had done this instead of the putrid "Spectrumality" ad campaign).
I WANT THAT SONG! Back when dance/techno was fun music.
GM should have told those advocacy groups to go have sexual relations with themselves and defended their ad instead of caving into those anal canals. Too bad more people didn't send those groups a piece of their mind like I did.
Same with the litigation, people need to stick up for common sense and reasonable prudence and do what they will, and if they get sued, destroy the opposition in court. Bankrupt some idiots and disbar/bankrupt some lawyers for frivolous lawsuits and we'll get somewhere.
This would make a great new generation of "Zoom Zoom" ads.

Yeah, then and only then will we again be able to buy new cars like the Ford Pinto and the '60 Corvair.

If I ran a company, that'd be my way of dealing with critics.
Running with Scissors does that with their Postal game series...

Wish I could drive a car as spiritedly as they did those (or, even at the very least, had the guts to ..)

That would represent just as much disdain for common sense and reasonable prudence as the current system does today, merely the other extreme.

Awesome commercial, but even better song! I've been into techno/euro/trance, etc.. since the mid 90's now. Gotta say, it's a hell of a catchy song.
