Could there be any better way to sell a car?

**Sasori**

The first bit sure looks like it'd be a fun video game. Other than that...yeah.

There has -never- been a more appropriate time than now for this image:

**woodbok**

Errm... ahh...
Wow.

**sarpedons-right-hand**

They have to be inventive if they are gonna shift a Kia.......

But, omg, really?!

On a side note, I hope that's not gonna be the European ad....

The transforming dance concept is not new.

That's the best commercial I've seem all year.

**WolfGirl**

Thats funny.

**kronk**

They've been using the dancing gerbils in Kia commercials for over a year here. They were funny the first few times.

They don't transform though KK.

In saying that, I hate this advert and loved the citroen adverts.

This is like those daytime TV adverts for crap loans with animated characters.

**notprop**

So much good stuff for so little car.

Is there no car that something small and cute can not sell?

**Sin_Un_Nombre**

-sigh- I miss my Soul. I've only ever owned 1 new car, and she died with only 8000 miles. -cries a single, manly tear- Seriously, those things run on Time Lord technology; they're bigger on the inside.

In Britain there is a drink called Kia Ora.

**filbert**

Kia Ora is Maori for hello (literal translation 'be well')

**Frazzled**

My wife has proven that Kia minivans can survive repeatedly sideswiping curbs.

Repeatedly.

The same curbs

Day after day.

God help the zombies. She'll wack thousands and not even know it.

**Melissia**

I was prepared to hate it, but those pants convinced me otherwise.

I mean, how can one hate someone dancing in hammer pants?

You can't.

It's a law or something.

**notprop**

Don't hate the pants Melissa, but maybe be wary of the unfeasably strange bulge underneath them.

So it starts off with Robots kicking the gak out of each other (I guess humanity has made AI smart enough that they revolted and destroyed there human overlords) in some sweet post-apocalyptic world, wow this is the

COOLEST AD EVER!!! Then the Kia comes, well it is a car commercial so that's kind of expected then some Hamster furries in gangster clothing come out of the car? Okay what the feth, seriously what the feth. Robots

now is your time to redeem this ad (before it becomes a stinker) you know the drill "kill all living things". But instead the robots just stand there as the sickly rodent human hybrids flip on some ear rape of a tune and

start dancing, okay it's gone to the point of no return the only thing worse would be if the robots started dancing to the song (although calling it that would be too much of an insult to the word). OH MY GOD THE

ROBOT'S ARE DOING HIP-HOP DANCING?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! WHY!?! What a steaming pile of rancid gak! In conclusion, it feels like a relationship with a transvestite really hot at first until you find out later that

you dated a man.

Love that movie.

Also I don't mean any offense to those who did in fact enjoy the ad, while those were my thoughts I conveyed in a deliberately exaggerated manner.

**Zefig**

Could there be any better way to sell a car? Yes. Just about ANY other way.

The gerbils, hamsters, whatever they are--they were horrendously stupid the first time and they've only gotten worse since.

The first part of the commercial was pretty cool though, which just made it all the worse when those little abominations showed up.

No offense taken, just throwing out my own views in a slightly sarcastic manner. To each their own.

To me there is.

Let's say you spend a ton of money airing a commercial about your new car. Great, now you've got about 1 min to explain to me why I should buy this car...
... yep, didn't convince me.

But I guess that just makes me a cynical car enthusiast doesn't it?

I saw this ad yesterday in the theater. Me and my brother were like "What the hell is this?" *Hamsters show up in Kia* "...kill me"

Easy to make jokes at small car makers I know but some of the Kia's they sell in Korea are a world away from the stuff that comes over to the west. I think some of their new stuff has pretty much caught up with the Jap cars, Hyundai at least (who actually own Kia).

I've hired one of these a couple of times (a Forte), it drives quite well and is quite nippy, they even provide the women and have them sat on the bonnet while you are driving around..

**notprop**

I prefer the yellow one.......................in the yellow dress I mean.

That second pic is pretty sexy.

I'll be honest here, it'd have been better if it the music had started as "Everybody dance now!"

I have to agree.
