Toyota GT86 advert banned in the UK
Many of you will know of the Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ, a Rear Wheel Drive, Front engine coupe developed in collaboration between the two manufacturers. You will probably also know that Toyota have been advertising it as a fun car.
You may well have seen the advert at the top of this article on the TV at some point, well you won't be seeing it on the TV anymore. After a number of complaints...
When I say a number of complaints what I really mean is two, yes two complaints and the ASA (Advertising Standards Agency) have decided to ban the full version of the GT86 advert because apparently it "encourages dangerous driving".
It is likely that the complaints come from rival manufacturers however it is also possible that Toyota themselves may have done this to gain publicity.
Now here is a video recorded by Shmee showing what the GT86 can do. Some might say the GT86 is lacking in the power department, what it isn't lacking in however, is the fun department.
