After I saw this thread:
Just thought this was funny, so sharing with you all.

It reminded me of this commercial I saw

You Tube

What do you think?

If you play the clip @ :26 it says its a 2011, not 2012.

Anyways seems kinda long to be a commercial... never heard of that character that they have starred in this either.

Whoops my bad.
It's a compilation of the commercials starring that character.

Ah ok, its a different take for a Corolla commercial I'd say lol. I'm guessing that's a anime character for Japan...?

Odd thing is: thousands of people go to see her sing live in concert. but! her vocals in her songs are completely synthesized by a complex vocals program. and the actual "singer" on stage is a 3d hologram

^^^ yeah, I've seen videos of it.... crazy stuff (you can see it in the beginning). What is the world coming to lol.

Seems pretty lame to me.

Toyota is pitching the Corolla to "cosplayers"

Yeah, but I think it might have a really nice stereo system

But you are just "thinking" that it may. To me advertising should be more informative than the vague message that these ads leave. Just my thoughts from what I learned when taking advertising classes in college.

I never understood the appeal of anime or whatever they call it...but to pair that kind of idea up with real life characters and the Corolla seems like an over-the-top push to make the car seem more Asian in its roots...or something...

I think the marketing team were

when they thought this one up...

nervx · 10-30-2011, 11:37 PM

this commercial is old and i've never seen it air. probably a good thing.

Toyota is a japanese brand, I don't see why using the japanese anime or digging the asian root in this case is a bad idea

unfortunately i dont think a corolla commercial would attract me anymore besides that zombie one a while back..

until they say "the all new 2012 toyota corolla with 200hp rwd standard."

and even then they'll still be behind haha
dammit!
