This video is not available on your country. That's one thing not showing it on television. But banned from YouTube as well. Have we been invaded by china overnight? Censorship my ass.
Ok so it doesn't have "soul" like a BRZ or FT86. But that still doesn't mean it doesn't have a "fun factor" to it. Not everyone can get a coupe that was geared towards having tons of fun. So the typical alternative would be to get an Accord V6 or...
Jack, we all know that you think that you v6 Camry/accord is a fun car and has "allot of power, man" but it's a car that has no soul, no true "fun" factor to it.
accords and camrys are boring, simple as that. there is no passion for enjoyment in how they're built, just breadnbutter reliability/safety/mpg ratings. I respect the gt 86 cuz it breaks that trend for Toyota,minus the pussy engine
Jack he wasn't implying that Camrys and a Accords are boring, he was saying that they were boring. I don't see what that the problem is though he was just stating that they are both so average and uninteresting that this add would hit them in the...
He obviously took a shot at Camrys and Accords by implying that they were boring and slow
I am employed in a marketing department. 70/30 in my opinion this was set up to be banned by the creators to make a buzz around the ad. Just edgy enough without being offensive.
@doug how can you see a problem!? They are advertising a car that has great capabilities and great styling! According the complaints logic all violent movies should be banned because it shows people how to kill... Unreal how lame society has become
Colby, you are a dumbass. Not every car has to be a a ZR1. You can have fun with a Camry and Accord, especially the V6s. They have plenty of power to have fun with.
I can see the problem. Driving is not a game. If they were advertising a game I don't think there'd be a problem.
People got angry because they realized how plain and boring their life was driving their Camrys and Accords.
If they banned that, they might as well ban the Need For Speed commercial too.
That was pretty tame. So I'm going to assume that Toyota arranged for this banning themselves to generate some more buzz. Cool ad, though.
I live in the uk and I can simply say that banning this ad is complete and utter stupidity at its worst! I hate the way they try and control everything in our lives. We're just not allowed to have any fun anymore boo!
Proof that someone who is opposed to everything can ruin the enjoyment of others. That was a really great ad.
Nanny state gone mad... Things like this reaffirm the reasons I left the UK!!
That was a great commercial. Funny this is the same company with the best selling hybrid
Thank GOD I live in the US, and these people want to make us more like Europe....man please!
Meh, looks like the animators from polar express are working still. Dead eyes.

Might as well ban every good British television show for that logic-including Top Gear. Remember the homemade police cruiser episode?!
Oh, okay. Guess every car ad ever made can't show cars driving faster than you can walk.
Description: The reality is that the only effect of singling out the ad as unsuitable for viewing is that more people will now watch it online and sales of the GT-86 will increase. ASA is clearly trying to justify...

haha it's true that by singling it out, more people will want to watch it. total waste of bureaucracy on that one..
The ASA is not a government funded body. They do excellent work on behalf of both the public and businesses to ensure that advertising is honest, fair and balanced. If it wasn't for the ASA, a company could try to make any claims it likes. You'd have tobacco companies telling you it's cigarettes were good for colds for example, which is what they used to do. Or, in this day and age, you'd have h...
@mario, that's such a great song, but my favorite is either zzzonked or arguing with the thermometer.
I was listening to an Enter Shikari song while reading this article. Now I feel all inspired to rebel.
Yeah if they put this same engine in a four-door and tried to retain the styling it would sell very well. Reclaim my respect for Toyota it would.
