_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Hands down best commercial is for the worlds most boring car. there was one about 10 years ago for the new Corolla boosting through town and all the other non-toyota cars pulling out of thier parks and following it and then the Corolla flicks away and then they all drive off the cliff. Quite good. but I haven't owned TV for about 3 or 4 years now so may be better ones lol Edit: oh i found it, hmm not so good 15 years on haha also found this which was good Edited August 19, 2013 by _Ethrty-Andy_ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted August 19, 2013 As far as NZ made ads for NZ, it doesn't get much better than this for me - the original Hilux ad, made in 1982ish with facelift RN 46 model. Why, in my opinion?? - It combined 2 x iconic kiwis, with a major vehicle importer, advertising something that quickly became a legend in rural NZ. - It was 'real world' filming - no special effects etc...... - looking back at it now, it gives insight into how much NZ has changed since then. As much as its very un-pc now, there's no seatbelts, we're smoking, there's a rifle in the rear window........& I bet they had fun making it...... This, set the precedent for Toyota 4WD advertising & marketing in NZ......... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Useless Monday night trivia continues - in terms of Crumpy's books - for all the 'hard living womanising bush man' that he was, across all the books he wrote there was never any swearing / foul language.........
