New Subaru ad campaign

http://www.leftlanenews.com/subaru-launches-get-more-gs-campaign-videos.html

Subaru’s latest advertising campaign, dubbed “Get more Gs,” and featuring a combination of Dave Mirra driving like a mad man and a scary tennis ball-turned skull. As many automakers tend to be focusing on improved fuel economy, safety or the latest infotainment systems, Subaru wants to point out just how ridiculously fun it can be to pull some Gs in a WRX or WRX STI. Of course, this is achieved by taking a fairly wide range of seemingly random folks (aside from the first video…I mean, really?) and strapping them in the passenger seat while Mirra gets his STI sideways through a series of drifts amongst some massive concrete pillars.

Five of the new ads are embedded at the link above. For a fun comparison, here's their first US ad campaign talking about the car getting 66 MPG: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLPp-NFInXw

Nice to see that some companies still get it. And I LOVE the tennis ball!

Lana has the most views! Who knew?

Yeah, I think they gave up on that pronunciation in the USA. The funny part, to me, is talking about how ugly the car is. That sound exactly like what some people still think around here.

Possibly the most disturbing 54 seconds of my life.

MOOOOOBS!!!!!

It's possibly even more disturbing if you've seen the original music video, which is also hilarious.

Way too much butt floss for a sunday evening.

Haven't watched it yet, but anything has got to be better than the "love, it's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru"

Yech.

"Quadrozontal"? ...?!

I had a Subaru with the Quadrozontal 1400. As I recall, the power was relentmore.

That guy with the douchestash was WAAAAAAYY too happy to be there and that old, blonde woman looked like Iggy Pop.

"....And one more thing, she costs so little to keep happy." I llove reading old ads. Did someone mention Mad Men's new season started last night?
