View Full Version : Nissan Duke advert
Seems to be some uproar about a Nissan Duke advert which pictures the car attacking people on motorbikes. Personally I can't believe all the commotion generated by it and MAG. It's a cartoon / sci-fi advertisement. I could understand if it was shot with some reality to it.

Never seen a fuel tank with a gear nob sticking out of it. Except on a trike maybe
Don't see anything wrong with the ad. Would there be a problem if it was cars attacking cars?

It seems that the EU wants to make it mandatory for a Nissan Juke to run down at least 3 bikers everytime you drive it.
FACT!

I know its only a cartoon, but why is the car runnung down bikes anyway significant to the cars promotion, if they wanted the dash to look like a bikes tank, they could have gone the other way and made the bike and car look in unison instead of enemies.
On a deeper level, i think its irresponsible for them to market it this way, we are already a faceless annoyance to car drivers who know nothing of bikes, i dont think this helps reverse this thinking at all, its a complete load of bolox and im sure the other way round it wouldnt be perceived any different.
*sigh*
I hadn't seen the ad until now, and it's the first I'd heard about it. That said, I don't think any ad which promotes any sort of violence should be encouraged, and especially when it is against a vulnerable group of people.
Yes, we are angry people - it would be nice if we didn't have so much to be angry about...

calm down dears it only a comercial
bit to much reading betwen the lines thinking going on i thinks
I always think I've let the side down if I don't collect at least one goldwing when I drive mine ........
what about films then? you see hundreds of bikers getting knocked off and killed in car chases in loads of films...
I think it's a stupid commercial for a stupid car, but then i dont get the implied fanfic style stuff from it ie Tron etc....

Is it a "real" ad at all or is it like the Volkswagen Polo ad with the suicide bomber blowing himself up inside the car and nothing happening to the car? i.e. is it just an offensive pile of w*&k let loose on the internet on the grounds that all publicity is good publicity? And, let's face it, now we all now it's a Juke, not a Duke, and Nissan's publicity department has several hundred more words in print about their car.

Don't talk to me about Range Rovers...
That's almost as ugly as the Duke!

That's not possible, I think it looks pretty damn smart! Though I suppose I am slightly prejudiced

Just another oversized advert for how big the owners wallet and how small their genitals are.
Whats the point of these things - they clog up the roads due to being too wide, are driven generally by morons who are too busy looking at themselves in the rear-view mirror than the road they are on.
I can see as much sense in that car as I can see in the oversized mini's. None.

It's not even that big.....And I think you are generalising just slightly....much in the same way that we all get annoyed that people generalise bikers
I'm not a fan 2bh, I prefer the Range Rover Sport :mrgreen:

Would you say the same about a top of the range Ducati or MV? Statements like that just make you sound like you've had an attack of the green eyed monster
