Would The Subaru WRX STI Really Make The Germans So Sorrowful?

For Wes, the 2008 Subaru WRX STI was a happy experience. For these fictional German engineers in this Subaru commercial the experience was the same. Well, that is until angry bald German bossman shows up. He ruins everything. It's a funny commercial, with a good use of Falco, but is the STI really the Japanese car the Germans wish they built?

More Goodies At Audi Super Bowl Commercial Site

As a quick aside to our Super Bowl commercial watching — in addition to the hilarious "Godfather" Audi Super Bowl commercial, the "Truth In Engineering" site is also home to a bunch of high-production value videos, each a riff off the "Truth In..." thing the Auto Union's got going on. All of them are sure to delight and astonish the Audi fan-boys but our fave flick's got to be the "Truth In The Blacklist" video above. So head on over to Audi's site and click away — don't worry, Audi marketing maven Scott Keogh's already expecting at least 750,000 to 1.2 million of you to show up. [via Truth In Engineering]

Super UFO Potential: Vintage Datsun 280Z Ads

Wow. So, yesterday we posted a picture of a UFO and today we talked about the old man's bangin' 280Z. Above is a video that features both. Below the jump is another, not quite as out of this world commercial. Though it does show just how rockin' the Datsun's interior was. However, before you jump we think you should read the following;
"You now face a new world, a world of change. We speak in strange terms, of harnessing the cosmic energy, of ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy. The nations of the world will have to unite, for the next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets."

Take That Boss Jambone: Fiat 124 Commercial!

Normally we want a Fiat 124 just because they are like exotic BMW 2002s. However, after watching this commercial from 1970, we want a 124 because A) we are Bo and Luke Duke and B) we love sticking it to the man. Plus, like, talk about a sport wagon, dude. [Cheers to Mr. Gold for the tip] More »
