...where it appears they’re filmed outside of Japan, prominently in America?

For example, the Japan-only Suzuki XBEE, where it appears to be Los Angeles, California

Peugot for some reason filmed a commercial in Vancouver.

  I WANT THAT CAR YOU BASTARDS.  I even know the people who did the stunt driving for it.  This was filmed literally outside my office.

I hate that they don’t sell those cool cars over here!

Suzuki left the US just as the segments they had awesome cars in started getting popular. The cute lil Vitara/Tracker/Sidekick truck and the super-economical Swift/Metro. Small SUV’s and small cars were just picking up as the one with the most experience in them left.

The biggest mistake they made was not selling the new Swift here.

Why do these Japanese car commercials apparently have no Japanese people in them ? Why are they driving on the wrong side of the road in a bunch of clips?

So much is wrong here that I can’t wrap my head around.

Still not as annoying as seeing Dukes of Hazzard, Little House on the Prairie, and MASH all being filmed in SoCal to save money (which ironically is exactly why they wouldn’t be filmed there today).

You haven’t seen the worst best of Japanese ads in that case.

And these are only the car related ones

I like the Mercedes and the Coffee commercials. The Nissan one made me want to stab myself in the head with a screwdriver.
