Agreed....most people will say what my wife said and
wonder who the hell Dick Dale is.
And ya know, it would have been much better if it were
a Jeep Wrangler commercial! Actually, it would be
better if the Nissan was a Chevy Nomad wagon....but
since most cars these days lack class entirely, I
would have preferred to see a Wrangler on the sand. At
least it would get in and out without using a winch.
But most yuppish soccer mom's don't go anywhere that
needs 4WD anyway. There is just something inherently
wrong with the concept of a luxury 4WD vehicle.
I am put off with all of the car adverts using all
these songs and artists. I am horrified by Caddy's Led
Zep strains...and The Ramones tunes in a car ad?
Blech.
No wait, wasn't Johnny Ramone one of Rolling Stones
top 100 guitar players of all time? Up in the top 30
as I recall.....it's a crazy world.
