Stop, please...what your doing with your social marketing,its not working and well, makes you look stupid.

Things wrong with this ad:

"They say cars are an extension of the person" so buying a prius van says...what about you? I mean, is the Prius stigma really a mystery to the marketing people at Toyota?

#Priusv at a glance looks a lot like, well, many other things you don't want associated with your brand.

These and the "estimate your dreams" ads (that link you to a generic build tool) are poor at best.

try it at the dealer level, it is horrible. Use it as a branding tool, not a sales tool is my strategy. People dont buy a car they see on facebook or twitter, period

Seriously. There's no way that picnic basket has enough food for four people.

yup - Social media is meant to keep the brand in your mind, not call you to action.

Nonsense. Lard sandwiches pack quite tight.

its symbolic of the fact that the Prius V, like a small wicker basket, car carry things just not a lot.

Look at how that hatch is packed. Do you really think this guy efficiently packed sandwiches in that basket?

And the man is the necessary element to move the basket around much like his involvement in necessary to drive to the picnic area.

Deep man ... deep.

nothing in advertising is an accident except terribleness.

Well, it's not like kids have to eat fancy. I'm sure there are plenty of nourishing locusts and shield bugs in that field.

That comment is even better without the comma.

Toyota is the Whirlpool of cars. As in their cars are just like rolling appliances. All of their products lack substance. They have really lost their way, their products genuinely look and feel inferior than their competitors. Their exteriors are terrible and the interiors utter crap. They only sell because people are spoonfed this bull squirt of reliability. The truth is you take care of any manufacturer's car you'll be fine. Failures are completely random, it happens to every car.

You should never generalize like this, that's what people in Russia do.
