Best car ad...



American manufacturers couldn't get away with an ad this good!

They could get away with an ad like that in the correct spot if the PC police were put to rest. But no most men now a days fall in line and suck up and go along with those weenie cry babies. I remember when Snap On and many others had some great calendars, haven't seen many of those lately.

Yeah, and the person who made it couldn't spell. What is a "pre owed" car? Fail.

Perhaps it's not a matter of PC but a realization that objectifying women is not health for society as a whole?

Not necessarily. You never really "owned" it, you just "owed" for it.

Clearly targeted advertising for men. As the NYT article recently noted, women in general don't seek out "sexy cars", rather they tend to disdain those guys that drive them . . . Women mostly wince as if they’ve caught a whiff of your Axe Body Spray.

Looks like something someone did after watching Mad Men as they worked on an Image for Jaguar.
