Durania Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I can not seem to find it on the net but this new commercial has an old Forester and looks to be a first gen Brat with a Loyale in it. It made my day, hoping I can find it on youtube. Remember you heard it here first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 checked out all the "subaru commercial" videos posted to youtube in the last week and I see some really, really weird/bad/wrong/omg adverts but nothing that you describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahag1978 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Weird... I just read this post and flipped the TV on... what was airing? This commercial... at the beginning of My Name Is Earl. I caught only the last few words... it went something to the effect of... "so that other cars can live on. It's what makes a Subaru a Subaru". hmmm, does that sound familiar? It's been said here, on this board, hundreds of times. Gotta see if it airs again. Subaru advertises a lot in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Name is Earl is one of my guilty pleasures.....I wish I could say I only watch it for the Brat appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started watching it just for Joy's Brat but stuck around when I realized it was a funny show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbchux Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 a good friend of mine from the Twin Cities is working with the company who is in charge of the Subaru advertising campaign. I haven't see anything yet, but he contacted me a few weeks ago looking for a subaru with over 300k miles on it to feature in a new ad. And he was really hoping to find an EA-series car. unfortunately both things were hard to find here in MN. So I'm not sure what they ended up with.

snoutmeat Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 It's on my ReplayTV, so I should be able to pull it off and dump it to youtube...there's a Gen1 BRAT, an EA81 wagon, a Subaru 360...the 300K car is a Forester with a mismatched door. Give me an hour or so to upload it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoutmeat Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I didn't notice until watching it again...the BRATs jump seats are sitting on the ground beside it, and it looks like there's a roll bar installed in the back of the BRAT, too....

3eyedwagon Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I DVRed the show, so I have been able to watch the commercial over and over. "We pull around a corner, and there it is; "Subaru Heaven" "You don't just let some wrecker haul your 300k mile Forester off to who knows where! You give that car a chance to live on, one part at a time." :-p The passion of the car makers, and more over, the understanding the car makers have for the passion of the Subaru owners truely comes through in this commercial. It was an excellent commercial, and while I have never done this same thing with a Subaru, I have parked other "tired" vehicles and made "the walk" away. It is something your average person will never understand. It takes a different kind of person to have love for a car, and while I think most people really won't "get" this commercial; it is definitely dead on for the target audience they were trying to reach.

3eyedwagon Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I just saw it but I didn't see my car. Jeff Sorry I didn't see your car in there Jeff... They have had quite a few new ones on tonight though, so maybe it will be in another one. The one with the two Foresters is pretty good too. I like how they pull the old Forester out of the garage with the boat attached to the rear, to make room for a new Forester. There's a For Sale sign on the dash of the old Forester, and the guy is kinda looking around inside the car like "well S**t". The next scene is both Foresters safe in the garage with the boat for sale at the curb... A mans gotta have his priorities! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moosens Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 blah blah blah ..... somewhat cute,but that's where it ends for me. Consider the way the industry has gone and that Subaru is just another cog in the big machine. They ditched their old fuel saving cars, they neglected the vintage owners from the moment they hit big in the 80's, they don't make any effort to support the vintage or enthusiast crowd here unless you're buying STi parts. When they bring back something like a 1600 or 1400 I'll appreciate them showing those cars. Hey Fuji H.I., I dare you to make a dual range on demand 4WD fuel injected 1600 or 1400 for the entire western hemisphere. Punks! Give us what we NEED. NOT what advertising mindwarps us into believing we WANT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
