a very strange Fiat Commercial

[Berliner]

what the......

Looks like they didn't take your advise and put me in the new commercial?

Even though I don't understand Italian, I found it amusing. I think, Berliner, that it's aimed at a far younger audience than you or I. Seems to be some kind of mash-up of reality/fantasy aimed at presenting a friendly, desirable image of lower priced Fiat vehicles to first-time buyers. Hey, anything in the world is better than American auto commercials. Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota and Honda commercials are mindlessly stupid and boring, and they play the same ones endlessly for months at a time! If it weren't for the "mute" button, my TV would have been smashed years ago! Grrrrrrr...

They even had Adam and the snake in there! That was really a weird one!

Well,

This commercial is airing now here in Brazil. It was made to celebrate the eleventh year of leadership in sales at our market. The scenes are parts of old commercials, all put together to make a retrospective.
The narrator says:
Do you know why we did a retrospective of our commercials?
For you to remember how fiat has came to the leadership...and also...for you to have some fun...the year is just begining, you know...
Fiat, leader for eleven years.

Here are the links for some commercials that appeared in the mash up, most of them in portuguese:

Well, that's just some of them...

Hope this helps to solve the mistery!

Yeah, let me be the first in this forum to confess that I know zero (0) Portuguese! That probably helps explain a lot.
