I would have thought the number one objective of any campaign would be to lure people away from the number one car sales site, carsales.com. And to do it with either charm, humour or some other device to make some sort of impact.
This isn’t it.
Wow, is that work lack-lustre or what?
Saatchis, what happened???
The Dad spot is smart and very funny.
