Post Latest P-car commercial?

See it? The one with the Boxster and what I think is a 550 Spyder? Just gosh darn sweet. If I had to make a Porsche commercial, it's what I would do.

Caught the last 3/4th of it but it was still cool.

Yeah, Porsche seems to make good commecials. I don't remember anything about a comma though. Maybe their is shorter versions.

I saw the cut with the COMA part. and the guy in the 550 looks at the guy in the boxster and it goes something like this.

550 (old man) (glances at boxster while being past)

-HOLY

BOXSTER ( young guy glances at 550)

- MOLY!

it's a great one. ONly saw it once and I still remember it to the "t".

Amazing how those 550's can sit for 50 years and all you have to do is throw off the cover and start it right up. Wish I could do that with my 944S after a winter storage!

Definitely a great commercial... and myself and many other Porsche club folks got to see it being filmed! On the way home from Whistler Weekend in Canada last summer, we started seeing the "road closed" signs being set up. Then see a film crew and camera car in a pull-out... then see the enclosed trailers with a 550 and Boxster. Had no idea at the time if it was a commercial or a movie. 3 months later I see it on Speedvision [RIP].

I think Porsche's marketing department (or whoever comes up with their ads, both print and TV) is really on the ball. I actually want to do an internship with them sometime. I like the magazine one where it says "We don't know who invented the speedbump, but we're pretty sure he wasn't German."

As a stepdad to fourteen yearold who "misses the bus" ( "Dave will drive me mom"; "can we take your porsche Dave?") my favorite has to be the one with the girl who misses the bus. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" /> <img src="graemlins/r.gif" border="0" alt="[king]" />

Now that adcritic.com is gone, does anyone know of any other web archives for great commercials?

My 10 year old daughter and I like, miss the bus.

The speed bumps at school are going to pose a problem once I lower the suspension.
