Japanese invasion - first USA, now France

Think the French have been hanging around the Japanese too long? Or they just lost their marbles?

I am not sure what you are implying here. That is a french car (Citroen) and I think it is a really funky ad.

From an advertising standpoint, really a pretty good ad! Attention-getting, and leaves one with the question "what technology is this car alive with?" If they sold that make here, the ad would at least prompt me to call my local dealer and ask. And motivating potential customer contact with a dealer is the real purpose of all car ads.

Thanks,
Richard

If its like many Euro-market cars the driver would likely die if a dog was struck at over 20 miles per hour.
