Video: odd Prius "Guzzle" TV commercial

by Lascelles Linton (RSS feed) on Oct 19th 2007 at 7:14PM

Below the fold is an odd TV commercial for the Toyota Prius. The commercial features a Prius owner at a gas station snack shop noticing everyone guzzles milk, coffee and soda. The Prius owner then walks out of the snack shop to see the cars at the pump are all large SUVs. The commercial ends with a voice over saying the Prius is "100 percent guzzle free" and the Prius owner getting into his Prius. Oh, gas guzzlers. I get it now.

Kind of a strange commercial. I don't like it. It's kind of mean to people with gas-guzzlers. Do you think I can call Toyota prejudice now? :)

I liked it; and I've got nothing against SUVs (except that they're damn expensive in Europe :-))

In America that should be "Super-Size-Me"
