Replying to: british_rover (Oct 28, 2006 8:16 am) Hmmm I wonder if they would do a new retro car. The Defender was kind of retro. Replies to this message: british_rover (Oct 28, 2006 10:51 am) fintail (Oct 28, 2006 1:54 pm)

Replying to: fintail (Oct 28, 2006 10:16 am) The defender was just the continuation of the Series Land Rovers. For example the door handles on our 1959 Rover will work on a Defender. Almost the whole door on a series Rover will bolt up to a defender. The frames are even very simliar just modern metalurgy for the Defender. The Defender should come back within the next three to four years on the T5 platform that the LR3 and Range Rover Sport share. Replies to this message: fintail (Oct 28, 2006 1:54 pm)

Replying to: british_rover (Oct 28, 2006 10:51 am) So it's a real retro car, as in a new old car. I see them quite often in this atea.

Maybe the Cav Chevy should have made? A real "revolution"...

Replying to: carlisimo (Oct 27, 2006 11:44 pm) I've seen that but it might have been on youtube, probably not on American TV. It's terrible, too. What does it say about its owners? The LR ad is much better. -juice Replies to this message: british_rover (Oct 30, 2006 11:55 am)

Replying to: fintail (Oct 30, 2006 10:43 am) You like that ad? The exhaust sounds like flatulence, and the kid is going that fast on public streets. It's poorly done and would only appeal to the wrong demographic anyway. -juice Replies to this message: fintail (Oct 30, 2006 2:35 pm) british_rover (Oct 30, 2006 6:00 pm) fintail (Oct 30, 2006 6:54 pm) and 7 more... ateixeira (Oct 31, 2006 11:12 am)

Replying to: fintail (Oct 30, 2006 10:43 am) That was freakin hilarious... Juice, I think it was meant to be a spoof. Loved the puff of exhaust from the leaking exhaust pipe underneath and then blazing past the Amish horsecart at like 25mph. But the best was when he puched it, you get the soundtrack of a late 60's F-body with the acceleration of a Yugo GV. That was some funny stuff. Either that or the kid took himself, and his Cavalier WAY too seriously... Replies to this message: ateixeira (Oct 30, 2006 1:30 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 30, 2006 10:53 am) Yeah not from american TV the RAV4 is RHD and the whole commercial is in english. It was either for the australian or british markets. Either way it is kind of dumb.

Replying to: anythngbutgm (Oct 30, 2006 11:16 am) On my screen is was a bit blurry so I didn't catch all the details that you did. I think you paid a bit too much attention to it. -juice

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 30, 2006 10:56 am) Yeah, it's a joke, but it still seems more exciting than a real Cav. And that car doesn't exactly have a prestigious demographic to begin with! Here's an amusing K-car spoof that's been around awhile And FINALLY, Caddy does a heritage-based ad...not as emotional as some MB ads, but still quite good Replies to this message: british_rover (Oct 30, 2006 6:00 pm) fintail (Oct 30, 2006 6:54 pm) lemko (Oct 31, 2006 5:49 am) and 6 more... ateixeira (Oct 31, 2006 11:12 am)
