2010 Prius-III starring in “Harmony”

Top “Most Liked” Spot

Maybe because many parts of the country were waterlogged this spring, but consumers hopeful for some sun really took to the ad for the Toyota's third-generation Prius hybrid. A creative advertisement that included an overwhelming amount of nature-friendly animation.

Nielsen IAG (NielsenIAG.com) ratings ranks - Only new ad executions considered, airing weeks of May 4 to 31, 2009. The Likeability Score is the percentage of TV viewers who report to like "a lot" an ad they were exposed to during the normal course of viewing TV (among those recalling the brand of the ad). These scores are then indexed against the mean score for all new ads during the period (Likeability Index). 100 equals average. For example, with a Likeability index of 171 the top-ranked Toyota Prius spot has proven to be about 70% better-liked than the average new commercial during the four-week period.

You certainly have to credit their visual creativity, but they shouldn't undervalue the song and its performance--the two work together really well in the harmony ad.

Maybe there's something wrong with me, although I think the ads are cute there's a faint sense of revulsion I get from them that I can't quite pin down. Maybe it's the slight resemblance to North Korean propaganda spectacles, maybe its the exploiting of children's cuteness for fun and profit (or maybe I'm just a grumpy old man;)?)

My friend and I were also getting this same feeling of revulsion when we were seeing the original harmony video.

He was debating between a mini-cooper and a prius until he saw the video...then he went for the mini-cooper :(.
