Pathetic Opel insignia tv ad

questionquick

Something that has been getting on my nerve....

Does anyone else think that Opel insignia ad is awfull..

"think of a German car...think of a car with a spectacular design...think of a car bla bla bla....now think of the car you weren't thinking of"

marketty

It's not a patch on the 'function in an eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelegant form' Audi ad

The English accent tells you straight away it's an insignia


Hate the way they use the riff from 'Layla' on their ads

colm_mcm

Just thinking, GM aren't the best at installing national identity


OPEL, ve're cherman all of a sudden
SAAB, we make planes, aircraft heritage and that
Chevrolet, we're so American, not Korean, American

cycocycle

The fact that the Opel web address is onscreen from the start kind of lessens the intended impact of the "reveal".

Insignia; not just enterprise rental fodder.



I should work in marketing.

What was hilarious was the amount of ads on the radio around October/November/December about last years freeze and "real driver" reports of how their next vehicle will "definitely have four wheel drive".

"I hit a kerb and the damage cost me three grand". Better go out and spend €30k on a jeep so.

That was Subaru wasn't it? Lets see how that's worked out for them... ummm not well http://www.beepbeep.ie/stats/?sYear%5B%5D=2012&sYear%5B%5D=&sRegType=1&sMonth%5B%5D=&sMonth%5B%5D=&sMake%5B%5D=Subaru&x=38&y=7

F-Stop

Didn't Opel just take the "Just like a Golf" ad, but make it "Just like a BMW" where their product was the second rate purchase? Seemed a strange strategy to me, but what do I know?

Was it not for Suzuki no? the sx4 in particular?

Same with the citroen C5 being advertised as "unmistakenly German"

Its crap like this that over hypes actual german cars and gives them such an overexaggerated reputation of German Quality

The only good thing about the add is layla
