Ramcharger? Anybody Remember? by kylerenfrew

Probably the worst ad I ever saw was for the Ramcharger years ago.
 
It had the slogan:
 
"Power That Says Get Outta My Way Or I'll Kick Your Butt!"
 
Real winner for road rage.
 
I'd heard they pulled it because of too many complaints, it didn't last long.
 
I get a kick out of guys driving these gas-guzzlers, with the king-of-the-road attitude, invincible. Believe me, they fold up like paper in a bad accident just like everything else.

Sweet. If you didn't like that you must not have a pulse.
 
I recognized many locations, but my favorite is of course Rio de Janeiro. I love the reaction from all the beach goers.

End the Nissan Sales Race by i_luv_toyota

Anybody else tired of the Nissan Sales Race ads with their computer animated cars driving around a computer animated track complete with fake track sounds?
 
I also hate how Nissan spins their computer animated cars on a "digital turntable" at a fast speed and a low angle (sometimes from front to back, sometimes a full 360). Quite nausea inducing.
 
Also am not fond of Nissan's spokesperson. He has a very headache inducing voice if you ask me. A mute-button allstar if there ever was one.

Lucky you! I still record the old fashioned way--on video tape!
 
I mostly record my favorite programs then watch after, but seeing the ad mentioned above, even in Fast Forward, still irritates me.

its sad, because in the 90's nissan had some great car commercials! remember the one with the guy in the red sports car wearing all the tacky jewelry filling up his sports car at the gas station. he gets back in and revs the engine twice and you see the gas gauge go from F to E just like that. its a commercial for the nissan 240sx or something like that...
 
also liked the barbie and ken one with "you really got me" playing in the background...
 
good stuff!

That was a great one! Recall the music in the background was "Disco Inferno" by the Trammps. The guy had a gum-chomping bimbo in the car with him and the pump was showing $80.00 when gas was still rather cheap.

Tundra ad by urnews

The Tundra ad with the bags of manure is a pretty good one even though I would not buy a Toyota truck if I was in the market for a pickup.

$2000 cash back on the regular cabs. $1000 on extended, but no cash at all on Crews.
 
Pretty much reflects how they appeal more to personal use customers, rather than work/fleet customers.
