Lightbulb New "Compete" Ad - They removed her

Wow,

I just saw the "new" compete commercial on Youtube. Porsche just reupdated it with Ms. Maria removed from the commercial. Porsche also removed the older commercial.

Wow, this is crazy action indeed. In a month or two - everyone would have forgotten the scandal. Public even forgot the VW diesel fiasco - sure some will remember it all the time. Scandals come and go.

Here is the "new" video again


Enjoy

So, Porsche has given up trying to compete with other cars, they're just going to compete with themselves now?

Based on all the .1 vs .2 stuff, I'd say the forums are onboard with the change.

This is the cycle... the only new porsche that is acceptable is a Singer. With each new generation we justify the blasphemy of the new model. Water cooled > Electric steering > Turbo

They should bring Lance Armstrong out of cold storage to advertise the turbos. Porsche. Cheat to win.

I totally agree. On the flip side, they could have just left Maria Sharapova in the commercial - she is quite pretty to me.

Now, Me and the Missus only see dudes in the Porsche ads . Even she read my mind and said "where them girls at"
