TV Advert released

[DoubleDoom]

In the UK, the advert ran during Coronation Street this evening. Its now on youtube.

It’s a bit renderey

 

[Asnes]

Meh. Seemed like it was all rendered on a computer. Odd.

 

[parb]

"Built for more" - a bit weak. I think "Built for Adventure" would ring so much more true...

 

[wolftimj]

Weak

They should go back to not advertising, this is sad.

I have to agree with everything said so far. My initial impression was that it was CGI and just looked odd, particularly on the off-camber approach movement. This ad would not make me want to buy a Grenadier.

When a commercial like that says nothing about the product it's selling, it better at least evoke an emotional response. But it left me flat.

Not awful. Not stirring. Just whatever.

IMO it felt overproduced with a slightly unrealistic quality. That didn't help. And it's ironic for a vehicle in (IMO) considered to be on the simple/real/gritty side. Lol?

Another splendiferous day isn the northern beaches area of Cairns
Am about to collect my grandson from school (in the Grenadier of course) so I'm on my best behaviour . As far as comment goes... I'll just "let it through to the keeper"....
On the bright side: the Bloomfield track is scheduled to finally open this Saturday ... so maybe early next week.....

Yes, I agree with that. The best advertising is to place it in movies. I was inspired by Land Rover as a child. And that was only because of Dr. Marsh Tracy and Paula.

We are not the market...imagine never seeing this beast before...now watch it again...if you have never seen it before the ad is WTFIT

 

[Tazzieman]

IMO it doesn't even remotely come close to the unbridled manliness of this 50s ad

I'm more concerned that you were watching Coronation Street, rather than the quality (why use a CGI ! ) of the ad.

Classy

Ah the Rovers Return

Can confirm it was actually filmed... I'm not saying that some of it may not have had rendering (I'm not sure on this), but there was definitely vehicles and cameras involved for most (or all) of it

Now that they've released the British gentry commercial - when do we get one for the yanks, showing Grenadiers actually being used?

 

[ecohen2]

At least the ad isn't annoying...

 

[skibum35]

Hummmm......

 

[landmannnn]

A TV advert without a multi-racial family, no sexual or body shape diversity?
Where are the disclaimers about how driving at night can be dangerous and that the vehicle may not be available in that configuration?
