NeoConMan Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Watching TV earlier, The First 48 on A&E. Saw a new commercial that caught my eye. A shiny minivan is shown, with a monster metal riff blasting as the camera moves in. A young man is shown gazing in wonder as the rear hatch opens and the camera zooms to the Marshall half stack within... As the satellite navigation screen is shown, there is a road depicted clearly as "Redemption" as metal musicians are shown on the drop-down dvd screens. It's a new TV ad for the 2011 Honda Odyssey. Don't remember the words from the announcer, but it walks the line deftly between cool and corny. Priced between 28 and 44k. Gonna need a job!

rocketman Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 To me it was a desperate attempt to make minivans hip for the younger generation of newbie parents. I think "Get Shorty" did a better job at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Natural Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Yeah, minivans are cool. I test-drove a new Chrysler Cialis last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 My strongest prejudice - I hate front-wheel drive. That eliminates the entire segment. I considered a Chevy Trailblazer/GMC Envoy, a long wheelbase version was available with a 5.3 liter V-8 from the truck line. Kinda low like a minivan for easy in/out. I talked to too many people who bought them and had all kinds of hell, so I stayed with the trucks instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versatile Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I am amused to hear the talk of minivans here The original minivan was a popular variation on the morris mini With a .85 to 1.0 litre engine I hear talk here of 5 litre V8's.... This adds credence to the view that everything is big in America....steaks...hats...minivans...!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vourot Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Since we are onto vehicle commercials. I like the one that shows some revolutionary war English redcoats setting up a firing line. The officer shouts his orders and the soldiers take their places...Then we hear a throaty rumble in the distance, the soldiers look nervous. It pans to the continental side where we see a bunch of Dodge Challengers charging over the field...Then it cuts to an all business George Washington behind the wheel of the lead Challenger while the Redcoats flee in terror. Makes me laugh every time I see George Washington driving a Challenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
