Not bad for a car ad.

Alright. The full monty might be a tad disrespectful of authority.

But: 1783 likes, 75 dislikes. Sorta relevant innit?

[mashman]

here's hopin it doesn't have the same water pump or steering from the Prius. They shoulda given it to the XBOX fullas to produce :innocent:

This is also available from subaru isn,t it? Flat four two litre?

[Zamiam]

Don't we live in a fucked up world. A minority, in this case 2 people, complain and something gets pulled/banned. Unfortunately it's no different here having dealt with the BSA. Only good thing in our case is they have no ability to make you do anything

Its a toyota chassis with a subaru engine. Subarus version is called the BRZ

Sort of. Mr Toyota recognised that his cars were seen as boring. Bloody reliable and very acomplished, but boring.

So, he had a really really inspiring chat with his engineers and, having recently purchased majority shares in Fuji Heavy Industries, he tapped Mr Subaru on the shoulder and organised a brand new boxer mill for the new project.

It's available from Toyota in several different flavours, and from Subaru in two. The bro-in-law has one, it's a bloody hoot.

yep, basically identical cars with different badges. Anyway, back to bikes eh?

[Asher]

For some reason i prefer the look of the BRZ, i saw a TRD GT86 on the way to work this morning, not too bad looking but the big wing was a horrendous.

Car mag pen-jockeys are all saying it's a well-balance piece of kit.

Not over-powered but handles well enough to bring out the hoon in you. (If you were a well heeled hoon)

I nearly ran one over head on in the truck the other day cause it lacked the grunt to perform an overtaking manouvre a car like that should have no issue with. The driver looked scared shitless
It needs a turbo.

RRP in Aus is just $30k. As usual that translates into $NZ at well over the exchange rate, still about NZ$40k

Interesting thing for me was the press release statement to the effect that it will be naturally asperated. At least for the first 2 years.

The TRD version with big brakes goes for early $60 grand here...

Cool add, very grand theft auto.

What a POS.

Looks like it was designed by Ferrari 30 years ago.

Wow! You must know something we don,t about cars. Looks ok to me!

It would appeal to Harley riders then that like old looking stuff, and that's a few people in this country.

UK Censoring agents will shit bricks when they see Aventador commercial.

Epic! That's an ad?!

On the other hand, one could complain of false/misleading advertising when one's Aventador bogs down in sand or fails to fly over cracks in the ground... :lol:

[AllanB]

Nothing wrong with either advert in my books.
