Ah, the Vaillant bunny. Very sinister.

Why not write to their PR and ask them if they're having a laugh running an advert in which every featured sports car is discontinued, and the F1 team has been sold to a privateer.

Honda's future probably remains in selling green self-satisfaction to self-infatuation junkies; sports cars are so last century dear.

I think a balloon full of hot air sums it all up quite nicely.

Yes, that inbox full kick in the goolies shite is still a real winner, Nick!

Trouble is, your S2KI Age doesn't exactly warn
after a few years of this happening.

Think of the $$$ lost

edit: Though I suppose the programming to warn/chase would be a chore. And people do drop out/re/enter over time. But how about 'Expires in' beneath 'S2KI Age'? We do notice the latter and make fun about birthdays, so that might be possible for the site meisters to do and would work.

The ad campaign for the Insight to be launched on 4th April in the UK is not ready to go live yet. The marketing department think "The Impossible Dream" is still relevant and they want to support dealers in this current climate as well as bring focus to Honda for their forthcoming launch.

I'm sorry to say but I totally love the advert and having watched it over and over on You Tube, still enjoyed seeing it actually being aired.

It's a great ad IMO.
It's all about the history.
But it is a bit sad that they are pretty much ALL history.

I love that Honda advert, one of my faves, and I'm just happy to see it on TV again. I do find it sad though seeing the NSX, S2000 and F1 Teams on there showing what Honda once stood for, yet being consigned to the history books...
