JohnnOhio Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Just wanted to see if anyone noticed this commercial, They have a commercial out for General Insurance Co. that shows a guy back his C-Max into some trashcans at the end of his driveway. I just laugh and think what's wrong with this guy. His back up camera not working.? How about the back up sensors? The beeping not loud enough for him? :lol2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a link to the video http://www.thegeneral.com/commercials/bad-driving-record/ Two problems with this commercial. 1 - Not that the driver ever looked at the screen, but the back-up camera was not on when he was backing up. Look at the 5 sec mark. You can see the screen after the crash and before he shifts into park. 2 - Where is the General's penguin friend? The penguin is the real star of their commercials. Were you in attendance when the General spoke at a town hall meeting in Ohio? http://www.thegeneral.com/commercials/town-hall-meeting/ Edited June 1, 2014 by DaveofDurham salsaguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtb9153 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 That commerical should have been my CMax, Maxus since I have either ran into or backed into something on all four corners. I have the dents and scrapes to prove it. :sad: :doh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridbear Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 That's hilarious! It appears that he wasn't driving backwards in the part of the commercial that shows the interior at the time of the collision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushed by the penguin! :secret: Who isn't about to let himself be seen - even if he did just close another sale! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsaguy Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Cool. Good catch spotting of the CMax.Hope none of you have the same problem with yours.Never seen that one myself on tvBased on the release date in 2013, it was obvious they were riding on the hot cmax right after it was released to the public.

Adrian_L Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Isn't the backup camera an OPTIONAL feature? So isn't it possible that the car didn't have it?My objection to the commercial is that we're supposed to believe that such a lovely woman would marry such a complete dork :) Edited June 5, 2014 by Adrian_L salsaguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My objection to the commercial is that we're supposed to believe that such a lovely woman would marry such a complete dork. Absolutely correct, it is an option. I am so used to having it that I forgot it's not standard equipment (at least not until May 2018).

fbov Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Look closely and you'll see the camera bump above the license plate... unless they all have the bump but only some the camera. +1 on the couple... reminds me of a certain Bill Cowher ad... HAve fun,Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
