Okay, you may have seen the advert I'm talking about. The one with a bus of tourists travelling through some rich area in America. There are loads of nice cars parked outside the huge houses etc.

Then, when the tourist bus goes, all the rich people garage their nice cars and break out their Clios.

Now, is it just me, or does this advert just say rich people wouldn't be seen dead driving a Clio? I can't begin to imagine what the marketing execs at Renault were thinking when they created the advert... If there's one thing that really pisses me off, it's rubbish car adverts (Mazda tbh).

IT ENRAGES ME

Calm down dear! It's just a commercial.

Seriously though, surely just in contrast to the Thierry Henri adverts, where they tried to convince us a man who could buy a number of these cars every week, with his spare change, REALLY likes his Renault?

I don't mean to scare you.. but there's an add for it at the side of this thread ...I think they might be watching us

What's even more odd is that Renault don't sell any cars in the US!

Perhaps like the rest of us, they can't afford the fuel for the flash motor.

Has anyone got a link I haven't seen this advert.

The ads I think are odd are the ones like Nationwide, where they have the big fat useless slob at the rival building society. Whenever I think Nationwide now, I just think of him!

Hardly a good image for your company to be putting in people's minds!

StickyMicky

Nationwide ones are funny IMO

the clio one, i just did not "get"
no idea what the overall plan for the advert was

"inner richness inside" ? its not a fooken cake lol

Exactly what my wife said!

Ha ha These ads make me laugh because they are so out of touch and way off target.

You could spend a long time driving around the US and never find a Clio.

The Nationwide ads are funny, but the message that everybody remembers is that Nationwide is crap

Renault need a reality check - last year they were telling us to buy their cars because the boot looked vaguely some bird's bum. Or was it a bloke's **** off.

I say bring back BARRY SCOTT. I'M BARRY SCOTT. At least he'll keep your pennies clean. Jeez how I worry about my dirty coppers

YO YO,Cruzin Cruzin,CMONNNNNNNN.the vauxhall advert is pritty cool.

If we're talking good adverts, then the latest Polo advert is probably the best going at the moment. Bloody hilarious, and captures the idea behind the Polo perfectly. VW are always great with adverts.

Honda - Also fantastic. But I think my favourite of all time would be the RS4 advert with the spider/car thing, and the RS6 advert (didn't see it on TV, only on youtube), of a guy riding a raging bull which then turns into the RS6 - Made me want to cry.

That Clio ad is indeed utterly pants. I like the Kia Cee'd one; as if anyone is going to be filled with desire/passion at the sight of one, LOL!

RussBoy

Agreed, that is a really clever and funny ad which appeals to so many people across the board.
