Latest Prado Ad

Watching the one day cricket tonight, (England again being routed by Australia) when I saw a Toyota ad for the 150 Prado.

Maybe I'm being too critical but my take on the ad is that the driving is atrocious bumping up and down ascending the steepish rise and locking brakes due to excessive speed in descent. A shot of the passengers being thrown about suggests that discomfort is the norm.

I think it's a poor expression of the capabilities of the Prado and does nothing to support the image of 4x4 users as responsible drivers off road.

What do others think.

Yes it is a bit lame, at least they're not using a chain on the towball for a recovery like in the previous Colorado ad.

I thought that about throwing passengers around.

And i notice they feature the crawl control only available on the Kaku

Drive it like you stole it. Same in all those adds for 4x4s. Nobody would drive their own car that way. Big Rev maybe.

Something like an advert. for another 4WD (don't remember, not interested, might have been a Jeep).

The 4WD was driven through a small creek crossing (less than a foot deep) at speed and sprayed a lot of water about. This was advertised as 4 wheel driving for the vehicle. Another dumb ad.

I showed that ad to my daughter who often sits in the back playing the iPad getting annoyed that the car getting bumped up and down disrupts the game she is playing. I asked if she sees anything familiar but her response was "I am nothing like that girl... she has darker hair".
