New video on www.rx-8.mazda.co.jp
There is a new streaming video on
http://www.rx-8.mazda.co.jp/gallery/movie.html
called "MOVIE in Australia"
Could anybody save the ADSL streaming video? I can't get a good connection...
Best regards

Decent video -- cheesy song of course (My Wish Comes True ...)
Get to see what RX looks like with a license plate on the front -- not as bad as I thought it might given the placement -- sure hope this isn't a preview of what the commericals will be like.

damn, that song IS cheesy!... i think it ruined the video.
the first shot of it on the left side of the road surprised me a bit. then i realized it was being shot in australia.

WTF?
I agree that the music is the worst commercial music I have ever heard, especially for this car. It sounds like a jingle for "New Generation" TAB soda from the 80's... which I don't know if ever existed. But it is bad I have my own ideas for commercials that would go as promo ads on cd-roms much like the preview cd Mazda released last year. I just need Mazda to return my phone calls for a demo 'white' RX-8

I seriously doubt they'll use that song in US ads, but for those that can't get enough , here are the lyrics:

My apologies to our Aussie members, but THAT MUSIC IS SO LAME! IMHO, it doesn't invoke any driving excitement, which is what this car is all about! Kinda reminds me of those Menthos commercials
This is another good opportunity to shamelessly promote my choice for RX-8 commercial music Check out this link to listen to a clip that gives me goosebumps when I listin to it and fantasize about my first RX-8 'test drive'.

Why a German name, you ask? BTSOM, maybe to get in a dig at the German automakers (even though I've got a lotta German in my blood, my DNA is programmed for Japanese rotaries).

The music sounded like the theme song on every Anime movie/series I've ever seen. I don't care if it WAS Peter Gabriel, that was awful.
Even though the music didn't fit with the car, the video itself was pretty neat to see.

I've got the pic from the japanes RX-8 newsletter, I receive every four weeks or so.
It includes some (japanese) informations, links to already known pages and a few small pics the one from the black car.

Actually, I think the music actually worked quite well in the Japanese commerical since it got some sort of "story line" underneath it like most big time Japanese TV commerical. But definitely not in the Aussie Commerical. Should have went with "Zoom Zoom Zoom" as the background music for that one.

Zoom Zoom
The 'Zoom' campaign was voted one of the worst ads in the UK during 2002 by the ad industry. It is supremely annoying so I agree. You have to cringe when the CEO of Mazda USA starts a press launch with the statement: "Hi I'm from Mazda, the company that brought you Zoom Zoom..." Yuk!
