What a sad state of affairs, haven't people got better things to do - i wionder if the complaint was from another manufacturer.
I think there should be a loist of things to be banned from advertising
Food - it makes you fat
Alcohol - it makes you drunk
Knives - they can kill you
Forks - same as knives
Spoons as above, just takes longer and more effort.
Electricity - it can kill you
Water - it can kill you.
Gas - as above
Cars - they can kill you
Aircraft/airlines - as above
Trains - as above
Lawnmowers - in the wrong hands fatal!
The list goes on

If it was me, i would make an advert with the car stationary and then have a caption of 'due to advertising standards we cannot show this car to be fast or to have good exceleration or good road handling, which of course it does'

The nice folks who market the Evo had an ad which took the mickey out of this advertising code IIRC. Something about playing soothing background music as opposed to telling you it'll go from -60-0 in 7 seconds!

Yeah, the red nanny state is here to stay. Too much health and safety cr@p nowadays. You can't go for a dump without having regulations involved somewhere.

The some bloke could get into the car and drive off, knocking Biggins bike into the hedge as he goes past as the camera pans around to show a crowd of thousands of normal people cheering, eating fatty foods and telling Biggins where to stick it :-)

i saw an advert for the impreza on a sport channel on sky about a six months ago.
a bloke was driving it about. then he looked in his rear view mirror and saw a sports bike coming up behind him. there was then a shot of his foot hiting the throttle and he left the bike for dead.
i wonder how they got away with that. (the tossers probably dont watch motorsport and it is a bad influence)

Speaking of adverts that never were but should have been...
VW - Don't forget...
VW - Small but tough...
Yes, they're old ... but there may be someone out there somewhere (possibly in Yorkshire) who hasn't seen them before
PS. If you don't have a sense of humor, I don't want to hear about your moral outrage
