suzuki commercial

[ashman]

i saw a suzuki commercial on Speed tonight which featured suz brand cars AND the gsxR. It was just odd I dont think I had ever seen a spot for both. As a marketing major i always found that odd.

Probably because they don't want people to associate their sick bikes with those pile of shaZam! cars.

you're talking about the one where there is a shadow of a GSXR instead of the shadow of the X-7 SUV?

I agree, I was walking by a suzuki car the other day and thinking, "So, what kind of car do you have?" "Oh, I've got the new suzuki." It just is weird to think about suzuki cars, whats next a nice kawasaki, or yamaha minivan.

Funny how Honda got the math right on both sides of the equation. Nobody else could though. Well, Yamaha makes a good keyboard if you like to tickle the ivories. 

I saw the print ad also. They don't mention anything about the bike being a GSX-R. Again, I point to my original theory.

The advertisement says specifically "are our cars as fun to drive as our bikes" or something like that.  It opened up with a K6 1000 screaming down some windy road and going into a tunnel and coming out some little zooki car.

Suzuki cars are f%$king awesome.  Anyone here remember the first Swift?  Badass little car...and the Turbo 2 is f%$king cool, too.  All kinds of badassery in the right light.

They should just take the cars and put one Busa motor to power the front wheels and one to power the back wheels...

They've already done something similar to that...it was essentially a chop-top, hayabusa powered Capaccino roadster.

Learn something new every day...the Hayabusa was named after this:

In production by suzuki? Nice.

Yep the Hayabusa was named after that bird, which eats this bird



Which shares a name with:

[makenzie71]

nutty...the xx shares a lot of design ques with the busa...and the busa (bike) shares a lot of design ques with the busa (bird)...but I can't place too much between the blackbird (bike) and the blackbird (bird).

yeah, and for that matter the Katana doesn't look ANYTHING like a sword, the Thundercat doesn't even have whiskers and the Interceptor can't even CATCH!! ... I feel like I've been lied to 

[makenzie71]

damned coorporate bullshit!  Lets boycot bikes!
