Main man behind it, says that people who want more power don't understand the car

I saw one of these when driving home with my new car. It looked amazing on the road, he was struggling in the slow lane with all the wagons though.

Just having a look at the figures, they aren't that slow, 200bhp, 0-60 in 7.4sec. It makes it a fun road car, everyone seems to be forgetting that we are talking about a road car here

I liked the advert because the cgi dude gets it a bit sideways, but always wondered if that was... allowed for car advertisement.

It was me. I told them it was unrealistic as the GT86 doesn't have enough power to power slide like that

Whoever designed them wheels should be shot. It's just a Hyundai coupe with ripspeed multifit wheels. Where all the hype has come from I'll never know.

how sad do you have to be to pick up a phone and go through 100 menu's and wait for hours just to complain about a car advert?
some people need to go outside.

As mentioned on PH, the Corsa advert which shows people hanging out of cars with smoke canisters is ok, the new A-class advert which shows someone trying to evade the police is ok but that isn't? Wtf...
Having said that, it could be clever marketing. Complain, have advert pulled and save money, motoring press goes mental with stories about it... Free advertising.

It was a fantastic advert I thought! A lot of time and money would have gone into it aswell. Once released and vetted, it shouldn't be banned from complaints.
X Factor gets complained about all the time, that shit isn't banned though.

I know of the plans for the 'fast' Toyota version, although I am not allowed to say as it came from an internal email I will say it will be interesting if it comes into production.

Sorry, wasn't sure how obscure it was
Old CS thing, in Geek Day back when the iPhone was an O2 exclusive (I think?). Robbo(?) worked for Vodafone and kept dropping comments like yours regarding upcoming news which he wasn't allowed give details on... and kept using all the time
