That Z commercial

gotta admit, im a bit jealous of that Z commercial with all the shots of the various Zs and the guys voice humming that song getting blown around in the wind (take me for a ride in the car, car). Im not the biggest Z fan, don't hate it, but do like the commercial.

aside from that one 8 commercial that aired maybe a year and half ago, havent seen much in a while. for that matter, seems like i see NIssan and Lexus commercials a lot, not too many for like even Sti's Evos, etc. I guess they survive on their own niche and don't need to advertise-though I wish they did cause it'd probably be interesting.

I love a cool car commercial though, and I guess the good ones are ones that almost get you to like a car you don't think too much about, in this case the Z.

Yeah... what the heck happened to all the Miata/RX-8 commercials we used to see? Last ones I remember are with the little "Zoom, Zoom" kid, but haven't seen those in about a year?

Yeah, that is a cool commercial.

I, personally, am getting sick of the damn Zoom Zoom. Pick a new song.

I detest the song in that Z commercial. I like the way the car sounds, however.

its ok, since it looks like a RX8, its close enough to be a rx8 commercial :p. In fact since every car looks like a rx8, every car commercial are rx8 commercials

i have seen a couple of MX5 comercials lately, havnt seen rx8 in ages. but i dont think niche cars like sports cars that sells at low volume really needs much advertisement.

I think a bit of Advertisement would help the RX8 sales quite a bit. I still have people ask is that a <insert another car manufacture here>.

maybe that zoom zoom kid is getting to that age where he's really ugly and Mazda doesn't know what to do.

I just drove a Z (because of the commercial). Too bad the car feels like a dog. Couldn't wait to get back in the 8. Smiled all the way home at how nimble the 8 is. Zoom freakin' Zoom...Oh yeah!

I'd love the Z commercial if that stupid song wasn't in it. Why not just use the engine sounds only?
