I was in a bar when this commercial came on between baseball-type activities. Being a closeted car person, I was pretty jazzed up to see all those great Porsches on the teevee machine. Yep, feeling pretty good, until I realized it was an ad for Porsche’s newest rolling catastrophe, the Panamera. If you thought that Ferdinand Porsche’s involvement in the Third Reich was unpleasant, just take a look at the motherfucking Panamera. As if the disgusting Cayenne weren’t enough, they trot out this obese piece of trash on national television.
Now, the commercial. Had it been an ad for a new 911 or even a new Cayman, it would have been brilliant. But reminding the viewer of a 60 years history focused on building the world’s greatest sports cars is not how I would go about introducing another porky, homely transportation appliance with a great big engine to make it go fast. Way to to devalue one of the last credible brands in the auto industry.
Rating: Thirty Seconds of Hell and Ferdinand Porsche receiving karmic payback for designing all of those Nazi tanks and ripping off Hans Ledwinka.
