Maybe it's because I *am* one of those crotchety, geezerly, "get off my lawn!", anti-social old people, but I absolutely LOVE this commercial! Toyota Venza commercial - Social Networking

I am one of those young people, but I fully acknowledge the truth in this advertisement (granted, I also don't really care much for 'social media') |

Here it is at a gig. It held two 18-inch subs, PA mains, Glockenklang Quattro, Glockenklang Heart-Rock, Mackie 1604, power amp for monitors, cables, two basses, mic stands.

The car has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with what the woman is talking about. What part of the commercial advertises the car? What exactly are they marketing?  |

They're not trying to sell you a car, they're trying to sell you what lifestyle that the car is meant to inspire... Ok, yes, they're trying to sell you a car
