Default 997 Commercial

Hope this is not a repost, old 997 commercial but with new music that makes sense.

I'm sorry but I don't see it with the new music. Maybe it's because I hate that song and that wus James Blunt.

I like the narration in the original.

YMMV

Great commercial -- with the original narration, that is. The commercial really brings it home for me on my love affair with the 911.

That "song" should have earned James Blunt a stint as Michael Vick's cellmate.
Just awful. Wrecked a really well produced commercial.

Here's the original 997 ad - without the music remix.

I think the reason you don't see too many Porsche TV ads in the U.S. is they don't really NEED to. Porsche has always been much more print-oriented (newspaper, magazines) in their stateside advertising budget.

Thanks for finding that....so so much better. Anyone remember that "if you were a car, what would you be?" ad from Porsche many years ago? think it was for the 944 but not sure. That was a good too.

Original by far. James blunt-over played, just stick a fork in that song. You miss the entire strategy of the commercial. Get that thing past the Marketing Manager in Atlanta. Not.
