It is understandable that they didn't mention names or the site because it's the car and its capability they are advertising. By leaving out the "who" and mentioning us only as "professional drivers", they keep the focus on the car. Anyone who goes to the website listed in the ad will see the pictures and the blog created during the run, and they can see the names of the drivers.

Al, if there is one thing that drive will do, it is to promote the FE and range of the Otpima Hybrid. That thing is a killer given its size and fuel tank cap.

Edwin, too bad David&Goliath (the ad agency) didn't simply fly Chris and I out and make the two sentence commercial :) The cost for the attorneys involved in the releases would have covered our end. And they missed my ball cap too :(

Carcus, I used to be a heck of a pogo’er in my day too :D

Overall, I thought the pogo stick guy was a cute way to highlight the trips goals.

Wayne,
I thought you must have lost a lot of weight since that commercial and now I see that it wasn't even you. I wish we had more time to talk and I would have asked about that tv spot.

To do that commercial again I would have put two very hot women in the car instead of the two old guys. :D Dress them in white jumpsuits with Kia Engineering Embroidered on the front. Kia would have had hundreds of thousands of hits on their website trying to find out who those women were. AKA Go Daddy and the old see what happens next at Go Daddy.com

Anyone remember the two women that drove the Lamborghini Countach in Canonball Run. :D

You promote that Hot women like this car for the guys and hot desirable woman are known to drive this car for the ladies. Hey Sex sells. :)

Just saw this thread. I am really disappointing that they would falsify the circumstances and participants of the record by giving a false impression of who did it. From the commercial, I got the impression that those two guys were in the process of setting a new record. I knew Wayne and Chris had done it last earlier and thought this was another attempt.

If you saw the displayed text (of route and time), and had read the Clean MPG Optima Hybrid Adventure/road trip,
It kinda clicked, that what they were showing with actors was a 15 second 'depiction' or dramatization of the real life event.

My fav TV spot these days is a phone co. ad that has a cute girl riding a super fast motorcycle.. :p

The last one they did was cool too. More 'dramatization'.. :)

Nice commercial, but I agree the "so are we" line would have worked even better if it had come from two hot chicks in the car.

My first choice would have been a friend of mine on another web site, Karla Lopez :D
BTW She did some Internet modeling in the past but has moved on to tevevision commercials, magazines and running her three businesses today. BTW guys she is still single as of last month when I talked to her. :) She is a very sweet woman. Youtube is your friend on this one ;) Maybe the next time Wayne's going for another World Record if he's interested I'll ask her if she wants to ride along with him for the publicity. He looks like he's safe. ;)
