Is anyone else annoyed with this stupid Z commercial?
*I would post a link for the commercial but I can't find one*
You all know the one I'm talking about, there are different Zs driving around a city (roadster, Track, Nismo, etc.) and there is this stupid, idiotic sing-over with some guy singing "drivin' in my car" in a twangy, "my family tree doesn't branch" kind of way.
This can't be the image that Nissan wants to put out for its flagship sports car. I'm a 30 year old male making a decent living (presumably, the target audience for the Z) and that commercial does not appeal to me or portray me in any way whatsoever.
Sorry for the rant, it's just that every time that commercial comes on (it's especially prevalent during sporting events), I roll my eyes and quickly turn the channel

I like the contrast between the car & the kitschy song. And the commercial is well-shot and visually dynamic. There's behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the thing on Nissan USA's site somewhere, in which the director says the song is what really inspired him. Quite good.
all but im with you on the song its got to go i cant stand the humming.
