The worst car ads in India

DCEite · 25th December 2006, 21:10

Worst ads:
1. Santro Waale
2. Aveo
3. Zen Estilo
4. "BIG" Esteem

1.man satro adds would win it hands down !!
no corelation man !
we are going to buy the santro not Sharukh khan !

2.esteem would come a close second

best has to be safari dicor- man that add give you so much energy !

Interestingly, the ad does drive a point. Which car comes to your mind when you think of a "boxy"car? Wagon-R?
That is called shooting on you leg-The suzuki way

its the maruti wagonR which tortured us in the cricket matches..an engg product needs a foggy show(remember the earlier duet in movies), and the girl factor..

Platina(earlier) had good camera effect, but it didnt focus more on the bike, except the gal

Yeah, Estilo and "Santro waale hain" suck big time! But, the following two top my current list:

2. Mahindra-Renault. MI type stunts for what??? Finding europe's number 1 car brand? All right!!

And, the winner is:

1. CBZ-Xtreme: What else could you possibly want in an ad?
- Matrix-style bullets.
- Stoppie at the cliff edge (on loose gravel).
- Damsel being "worried" about the dude. Dude mumbling general gyan ( hearing "this mission is not going to be easy", he counters "life never is!"). Superb revelation!
- However, I've to admit that I like the cap blown off train-driver's head. To me, he looks like H. Reshamiya. Ok, Ok! Atleast the cap looks like his cap

I think the CBZ ad is pathetic...somehow i liked the New APACHE Ad...! if wish i could impress a gal like that...but the bike would be a Pulsar...!

benbsb29 · 12th January 2007, 12:52

I dont know if we shud discuss the bike ads here, but with all due permission, the CBZ Xtreme ad is THE worst ad for any vehicle.

amtak · 17th January 2007, 10:39

I completely agree...CBZ is the WORST AD of the YEAR 2007!!!! how about the Skoda Laura...? car car is good or Shivani Kapoor...?
