(You)Tube City! Vauxhall Astra TwinTop hits the waves
Vauxhall's new TV commercial for the Astra TwinTop takes us to an exotic, sun-soaked locale where the hardtop convertible shows a group of assembled surfers a thing or two about catching waves.
In addition to being incredibly clever and fun, the spot is blessedly devoid of the idiotic legal disclaimers American viewers are regularly subjected to, such as, "Simulation - Do Not Attempt", "Not appropriate for water use" or "Vauxhall Astra is not a surfboard - Will sink in open ocean."
Without question, it's one of the better campaigns to come from any automaker this year. Bravo!

The Toyota Yaris campaign is much better, especially the one they are showing in movie theaters with the hatch and sedan racing each other using ungodly weapons.

I hope Saturn gets a twintop version when the Astra replaces the Ion.

On the whole Vauxhall's television advertising campaigns have improved.
From inception of the new model Astra I have enjoyed the focus of advertising via TV commercials.
I am not so enthused by the 'Grown-up' kids who help promote the Zafira and Meriva or by Collina's Vectra adverts.
But I guess you cannot have it all.
