lamest cdi commercial

We have some stereotypical "gangster" youngsters driving some rice rockets and they race a E320 CDI.

I got a good laugh

I to am a hater of the Rice Rocket. But that commercial had great comical value. Not to mention even though it is staged watching an MB Diesel smoke a pumped up Ricer is fun.

By far, the WORST German car ad I've seen is the new GTI "Catapult" ad.

"German engineering in da house, ja." I'll NEVER buy a GTI after seeing that embarrassing garbage.

VW GTI MK V ad: "Catapult" They seriously need to castrate the writer of that so he won't spread his filth.

I noticed in the MB commercial that the car has a California license plate. Too bad you can't buy them there new.

I acutally thought it was pretty funny. I'd like to see plenty of ricers catapulted like that.

That's not a catapult, it's a trebuchet. It's still a funny commercial...reminds me of Deiter and 'Sprockets.'

Really? You didn't like those? I thought they were hilarous. The Benz comercial is cheesy but I like that it smoked those idiots.

The same kinda stuff happens when I drive my '76 300d, except I race and beat Ferraris and Lambroginis. No contest.
