RX-8 in a SuperBowl Ad ?

Ok, well maybe not exactly a Mazda commercial... but...

I was cruising around for various news I ran across this...

"News Corp.’s 20th Century Fox has purchased a spot to introduce either “X2,” its summer sequel to the comic book blockbuster “X-Men"

Could we see a RX-8 in a commercial on one of the most watched television events in North America?

Stay tuned..

I wish that would be reality- but, all the recent Advertising industry mags I've been reading have said that Mazda is really going to be pushing the Mazda6 during football season. I'll bet they unveil the X-Men ad soon after though- perhaps as late (or early) as late March/early April.

Though I have to say I can't wait to see the RX-8 in TV advertising!

I was thinking there might be a glimpse of a RX-8 in the commercial.. not really a full "RX-8" commercial.



*we can hope, can't we*

i just read in a link on msn that the studio bought time for an ad but the writer said it wasn't known if it would be for xmen2 or for the daredevil movie.

yeah, even though I "quoted" the source... i managed to leave the text vaguely incomplete...

see : "News Corp.’s 20th Century Fox has purchased a spot to introduce either “X2,” its summer sequel to the comic book blockbuster “X-Men"

nothing refers to what the other thing in either was...


*bordeom at work is a killer..that's my excuse.. yeah.. that's the ticket*

Hey, I hope I'm wrong- and who knows, maybe they will toss in a glimpse of the RX-8 in a commercial or two for the Mazda6!
