Wurst, Shepards, Milk Maids; unmistakeably German

This is pretty funny. If you are a car guy/gal you kind of know where this is going the whole time. BUT, if you aren’t, then I guess it is a pleasant little surprise. It’s currently running in the UK.

That was pretty clever! I thought it was a Mondeo for most of the commercial. I’m really diggin’ the side mirrors.

That’s a big upgrade over the last-gen C5. My grandfather has the last-gen C5 and for the money he paid, the car’s a stiff IMO.

I think this is a “second degre” ad meant to flatter the viewers that get it into buying the car:

1. This ad makes fun of cliches and shows how ridiculous (and wrong) they are.

2. Including the cliche that German cars are better than French cars.

3. Indeed, French cars are more reliable than German cars (but Japanese cars beat them all): http://www.reliabilityindex.co.uk/top10.html?apc=3128339010848601

4. So disregard cliches and by a C5.

I think its funny too! It could be considered racist or Nazist but it is aiming for funny. I am glad this website see’s this instead of the other ones that complain. I am very happy with my citroen c5 and i am german! So i should know…
