that bloke deserves a medal lol

and i must say dam good add, still wouldn't buy one, but its a good add lol


Pretty much my point of view. Made me chuckle (am I a simpleton? Or just the target demographic for a Yaris??!!). Doesn't change that I wouldn't buy one for myself but at least it's now on my mind again so if anyone asks me what good small cars there are out there, I'll remember it.

I would have preferred it if they'd gone with a speech bubble type thing for the crass parts, with normal dialog - kind of like a "here's what we're saying, but this is what we REALLY think" - might not have been so controversial if it had been done that way.

I could see the funny and bad taste sides of it though.
