Saw a REAL TV COMMERCIAL :D!!

all i saw was like 1 second of the last 5 seconds of the commercial when someone else was flicking through and i was like "GO BACK!!".

i rememeber: young-middle aged man hugging his new red RX-8, his attractive and obviously younger wife not understanding his passion *channel changed, then back* skip to the spinning "red paint rotor" (like the flash intro from the site), with RX-8 layout, the a price (can't remember what one was quoted), web addy, etc etc.

as you can see, my photographic memory didn't take in all that much, other than certain specific socio-economic assumptions made by the marketers, as to whom they want to sell the car to, and that it was actually on tv (unless i passed out, ate something that gave me fantastically psychadelic dreams, and came up with this... only in MY head i s'pose).

cool huh?? someone else, tell me what the hell the rest of the commercial is like!! *goes to see if on Mazda website*

iirc he walks into the garage, stares at it a little bit, opens front and back driver side doors, walks up to it, lays his head on the top of the car and hugs it, then the doors kinda close onto him like the car is hugging him back. blah blah blah as shown 31,100 which would be grand touring no nav. there's a post somewhere here with a link to it.

Watch a national broadcast on ESPN (NFL or NBA) and you'll see them.
