a new television commercial with Prius !!!

Just when you least expect it, zap Toyota get's you. Sweet is the word! I saw it but the sound was on mute and I missed it by seconds.

 

that was a great commercial! it had me really interested in what would happen next. and when it rolled by the prius i literally squeaked out loud and my friends all laughed at me.

 

well!! someone record it and post it here!!

or are you gonna force me to spend hours watching tv waiting for the commercial?

 

btw, they didn't mention the prius or say anything specific about any of the cars in the commercial. I think they had an echo, a corolla, and a prius, though the Prius got by far the most screentime. The other cars were driving and were only partially onscreen. The Prius was parked in the center of the screen, I think by a sea wall overlooking the ocean. Someone was leaning against it. The tire rolled by in the foreground. It was a fairly long shot and definitely designed to give you a good long look at their neatest looking car. All the cars in the commercial were silver.

I hope someone manages to digitize this one. I'd love to see it again. All my housemates stopped what they were doing to watch the commercial. Nothing really "happened" storywise in the commercial but it looked like it was going to tell a story so everyone stopped to watch it.

I don't remember what they said at the end of the commercial but it had nothing to do with the Prius. It was a very general, "Toyota is great" sort of message.

 

YES IT IS AGONY!!

a major waste of time also.

at least tell me what shows are more likely to show the thing...

is "Blue Collar TV" a real show... i looked for it and i dont find it....what channel is it on?

 

digitalizing the commercial would be easy for someone who has a modified TiVo...

as i understand it, that is fairly common. they are modified to increase their storage.

if someone would tell me what shows to look at, i will try to TiVo the commerical...

right now, i have TiVo'ed several hours in the past 24 hours and have FF'ed through all of it with no success....this is really BORING btw...

 

I'll keep an eye out for it-- my PVR (PC-based Tivo) doesn't require messing around with anything to get clips out of it.

 

mine is modified from 25 hours of HD to 250 hours of HD and i can put the info on anything... (mostly use CDR's....got a million of them and cant think of anything to put on them.)

but i'll check out the WB... im sure we get it... we got 70 some channels... what else is on it?

 

The commercial is a series of Toyotas new slogan: "Moving Forward". There were two different ones being broadcast during Sunday football. Once was about the new Camry SE and the other was the rolling wheel with the couple at the end parked by the sea watching the sunset, while standing behind their Prius. At the end they say something about we'd be honored to move forward with you or something like that. It's a pretty neat commercial and the Prius gets a full long look, compared to the half glances you get of the other Toyotas.

 

i did see the commercial during the Seahawks collapse. and yes it was a long commercial. i didnt even realize it was a toyota commercial until i was 10 sec into it.

and the view of the Prius reminded me of Hdrygas' pic he took when crossing the continental divide on his maiden voyage home. same color, nearly the same surroundings... sort of...

 

Judging from your license plate John, I'd say you're a trekkie, as am I. I wonder what the percentage of prius owners are trekkies compared with the average for other cars...

 

well put
