Can't be worse than many people who just can't parallel park by themselves.

Sure, there are plenty of places without good lot parking. Of course, new cars often have such atrocious rear visibility that you need rear cameras and parallel parking assist.

If you're in an urban environment, often the answer is yes.
 
I had to parallel park in my garage yesterday, and also went to the Brazilian Embassy and had to parallel park once again.
 
No valet parking in either. Of course it's a cinch in a Miata with the top down.

if you look closely in the add, it looks like it has the rear back-up sensors along the front bumpers too. I brought this commercial up in the Gadget thread, because I feel this is just another way to jack up the prices of the cars. I'm still waiting for a car commercial that features "Check out our NEW Turn Signals, they have been around for a long time, we just wanted to let you know we have them so you can't use them."

pretty soon mercedes is going have a feature that when it detects lexus sonar invading it's space, will make the parking space seem too small for it to fit.
actually, that does make me wonder how the 'lex figures out if it WILL fit?

That would be hilarious. Send mixed signals so no Lexus could park in front of or behind a Benz.
 
Remember - Mercedes had their own issues with the radar cruise control, two Benzes crashed right in front of hundreds of reporters in a failed demo attempt. They blamed some metal in the ground, IIRC. As if bridges and road seams don't have metal parts.

No, better yet, Benzes should have a chaff dispenser to confuse Lexus' parking radar so it ends up smashing itself against the cars in front and back of it!
 
I finally saw the Lexus 8-speed transmission commercial. They should've shown a bunch of guys surrounding the strip wearing shirts with patches on them reading "AAMCO," "Cottman," "Altrex," etc. singing "Hallelujah!" as Handel's "Messiah" plays in the background.

Though I'm not really a fan of the Honda Civic personally, the new "Tron" ad for the Si is great...it'll strike a chord with every Gen X-er for sure.

Commercial question by gregger1

Hey everybody,
 
not sure if I'm even in the right spot, but it sounds like you guys have the low down on car commercials, so I have a question for you:
 
Does anybody remember the commercial where the car is driving around the city, and every other car is mimicking it's actions? (i.e. the car backs up, so all the other cars on the road back up, everybody walking on the sidewalk begins to walk backwards, etc)
 
I don't think it was more than a few years ago.
 
Any help would be appreciated.
-Thanks
