THe first 07 Camry commercial will be shown tomorrow, in the first commercial break during the Oscars. This is right after Jon Stewart's monologue. But unforutantely, it's only for Canadians.

It's a 2 minute movie apparently, should be pretty cool......

I just saw it. It was on CTV, during the first commercial break of the Oscars.

It was a long commerical, and you didn't even know it was about the Camry until the end, it was pretty clever though. They had a beautiful red SE in the commercial.

Forgot to mention,

www.thenewcamry.ca

Site is up, commercial mentioned it. Site has info in the car, and it has the commercial, although a shortened version of it, for those who want to see it.

Yup saw it too...it was pretty abstract, it was about the town of Want and the town of Need...a girl and a guy leave each town, run off together and drive a Camry.

Oscars started at 8pm, CFTO....they say over a billion people will be watching, and you need me to tell you what channel its on?

A billion?

that's funny, considering that viewership has been going down the past few years. American TV needs to learn to not spout BS like that.... Makes them look bad when no one tunes in.

Average number people watching oscars, 50 million.... that's a far cry from a billion....

***Silver Streak*** · 03-06-2006, 12:20 PM

^ you're right. Those billion people numbers are what ABC throws out for their global viewership numbers worldwide, but after some simple research, it's not anywhere near that close.

BenG · 03-06-2006, 12:33 PM

Yea...a billion people is more like those who have the POTENTIAL to tune in!!!

back on topic tho, I didn't see the Camry commerical...but maybe it was just too long and I tuned away from it....

Well technically the first 07 Camry commercial was the Hybrid one they played during the Super Bowl. I know it ws more for the Hybrid but it was the 07 Camry. Did they not play that one in Canada?

***Silver Streak*** · 03-07-2006, 10:51 AM

We don't get the same commercials as you guys do here in Canada. So, ya, technically this was the first for us.

Cyorke · 03-07-2006, 11:15 AM

Ok so we each have our first Toyota Camry commercial now. I guess itw ont be long before they are all over the place since they are hitting the showrooms now.
