RX-8 Commercial?

Has anyone seen a RX-8 commercial on TV lately?

My daughter says she was watching TV (new baby, nothing else to do) and says she saw a RX-8 commercial. Something about a new owner hugging the car, then the car hugging the owner at the end with the open doors.

Yes, I saw it on ESPN NFL last night. Shows the red car. Looks good. The bit where he hugs the car is stupid though.

I thought the hug was the key point to the whole ad. I've hugged my car before, that way it knows its taken care of.

Also women will find this as said "cute." If they're watching the game or reading a book beside their spouse the male may be able to convince the wife that that cute car is a completely practical 4 seater. That's smart marketing.
