First TV advert spotted

The car might be late, but the TV advert is early!

I've just seen one for a lovely red RX8 at 2145 on five during the Matrix.

Zoom Zoom!

Cheers

Just after I post that, the browser refreshed the Europe forum, and I see everyone's been watching the ad all evening on other channels in the First TV Advert 27/10 thread

Cheers

The "leaked" ad is close but people are saying it's not the same as the final version - different voiceover and music apparently. Haven't seen the final one yet myself though...

Cool, yes... I have a few people here who have seen the final add on TV, they did say that the music and voiceover was different... standard "Zoom Zoom" and english accent... look forward to seeing it.

The standard "Zoom Zoom" tune? Noooooo!!!

Still, it's not quite as bad as the music on the Japanese ads I suppose...

Just seen the advert and it was .... how do I put this nicely? .. crap

Well, crap compared to the video preview we saw on here ....

Music was low key and the voice-over was boring

Dump the UK guy and put the previous guy back on ... the accent will make people listen, and the music/zoom zoom was much more RX8 ... Mazda are you listening?

I saw the BP advert tonight (7.30pm C4) featuring the silver RX8 briefly at the beginning.
