Re: NG 9-5 Head On Crash Test Video Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Thu, 15 Mar 2012 06:52:56 In Reply to: Re: NG 9-5 Head On Crash Test Video, DER, Wed, 14 Mar 2012 20:58:38 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Agreed.
My all-time favorite Saab TV spot had a classic 900 driving on grass, at the camera, getting two wheels on a ramp, rolling the car over completely. The car landed on it's wheels, the driver started the car, and drove off, with Mark Lenard's (Star Trek's Sarek) voice extolling "...the most intelligent cars ever built".
My sister recalled seeing that ad, and when she rolled her first 900, she was waiting for it to roll back onto its wheels. Unfortunately (or, perhaps fortunately...) she didn't roll it with quite enough energy for that to happen...
Then there was the NG900 ad, where the 4 big, burly guys (think weight lifters or "Strongest man") come out to the car, roll it once over - on pavement - get in and drive off...
