Last year, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! was !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
I just saw "it" in a Canadian commercial for the Kia Sportage.
A silver California is parked in the same tunnel, in a few inches of water. The camera is in the same place, showing the same left 3/4 view of the Ferrari as did !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . The Kia passes by slowly without a problem. Tagline: "Performance meets capability. The turbocharged Sportage with all-wheel drive."
Update: Kia Canada's YouTube page now has it:
Corny? Yes. But until I saw the Kia, I did think it was footage of the actual car from last year's flood.

Something tells me a sportage might not be fording that flood either.

If the water doesn't get it, the mud will.

Oh, no doubt it would be just as screwed. In the ad, the water was barely above the tire's sidewalls, more like this:

I wish I could. I'd have put it in the article, but I can't find it online anywhere. The first place I looked was Kia Canada's YouTube page, but no dice :(

The ad is now online, so I've embedded it in the article.

I think Ferrari should challenge the sportage to a rally race to prove just how offroad worthy it is.

I don't know, we just saw a video showing it could. Would a commercial lie to us?

Hmm why would you stop in an inch of water that wouldn't damage your car (most likely) one bit. God damn it Kia.

Spore Tahj?
Really?
I guess all these years of saying (or rather, ignoring) "Sportijj" was incorrect.
