| Posted: 9/4/08 5:43PM Post subject: Too Funny: xB featured in a . . . . . . Honda ad! OOPS! |
|
|
I watch the news in the morning (on a local cable news channel) and I kept seeing this local Honda ad featuring annoying Mr. Opportunity and a cartoon character of the local dealer sitting in a white car. Pushing Hondas of course. The whole thing was quite annoying so I didn't pay much attention to it. This ad is repeated every morning so I kept seeing it over and over.
After few days the white car caught my eye. It looked somewhat familiar. Next morning I paid attention to that ad. Sure enough, that car has the unmistakable shape of a Polar White xB. Just like my car! I even stepped frame-by-frame when the car drives off. That just confirmed that it was a drawing of a Scion xB!
That cartoon was made for local audience, separate from the national Mr. Opportunity campaign. I wonder if the artist who did that cartoon just happen to randomly pick the xB or was there some hidden agenda.
Whatever it was, I have a chuckle whenever I see that commercial. I wonder if I should somehow let Toyota and Honda PR departments know about this. I wonder what they would do.
Here is the ad as I captured it:

| Seems like the character in the xB was driving away FAST from that Honda dealership! |

That sure did look like a xB.
I too have seen that commercial, but I didn't notice that. You have a good eye. |
