Has anyone seen a RX-8 commercial on TV lately?

My daughter says she was watching TV (new baby, nothing else to do) and says she saw a RX-8 commercial. Something about a new owner hugging the car, then the car hugging the owner at the end with the open doors.

 

Yes, I saw it on ESPN NFL last night. Shows the red car. Looks good. The bit where he hugs the car is stupid though.

 

It's very funny, check the "lounge" it's been posted.

 

saw it in the lounge as well

 

Thanks Wing & Pete. Found it here.

How come it is call Jack in the US but Steve in Australia?

Anyone able to rip the australian ad from the DirectX??? It should be kinda hard

 

interesting... is jack a slang for something in Australia?

 

I thought the hug was the key point to the whole ad. I've hugged my car before, that way it knows its taken care of.

Also women will find this as said "cute." If they're watching the game or reading a book beside their spouse the male may be able to convince the wife that that cute car is a completely practical 4 seater. That's smart marketing.
