The funniest part is, for being an evil twin, it has 94hp and does 0-100kph (roughly 0-60mph) in 9.7 secs.


How slow is the non-"sporty" version???

Should be a third one that opens the hood and flings the cat over the house...

OK - I conceed that I found the cat version amuzing, but the bird was tops.

Let me become the bad guy for a minute - and expose myself to assault from the PETA crowd and tree-huggers...

First, I have dogs, cats, and horses that I love dearly. I made 6 blue bird boxes and put all over my property. I have a Purple Martin pole/house for 18 pairs. We plant @5 acres of our farm purely for wildlife (which takes $). We keep out bird feeders and hummingbird feeders all season. We even feed our table scraps to the local opossums and racoons (out at the edge of the field - NEVER near the house! So we DO LOVE ANIMALS.

But, to find these commercials funny at all, you've got to understand up-front, that neither of those commercials was "real". I am an AVID outdoorsman... cleaning hundreds of fish, typically 100 or so Doves, a few quail, dozens of squirrels and rabbits, and @10-12 deer every year - all legally and mercifully taken.
Well, for those of you who have never "decapitated" an animal, let me tell you - it ain't easy. Even with a sharp knife it's hard to get through the bone, cartiledge, esophagus, and the veins in the neck. There is NO WAY (yes, I'm sure) that a blunt-edged sunroof mashing against a rubber gasket is gonna decapitate a cat, especially cleanly - NO WAY.
Also, there would be shower of blood - it would be squirting EVERYWHERE.
When you sever the jugular while the heart is still beating, it is like a tiny garden hose squirting out.
Another thing is the "instant-dead" situation...
When you do decapitate an animal (or shoot them in the head), they never drop over motionless they way cumpu-kitty did in the flick. They always discharge the electrical energy stored in their muscles and nervous system. They twitch, jerk, fling their legs a little, and the like.

So it was obvious to me that the commercial was "fake" as soon as it ran, but I do understand that not everyone has the experience I might have with "terminating" living animals.
(Gosh that sounds so terrible when I write it like that.)

I wanna see the next commercial with a dog...
Guess what I want to see him doing when he gets zapped!

Well , it's the same, but 14" wheels instead of 16", no long teeth style fog and rear lights, NO SUNROOF

17.74 sec. 1/4 mile with very bad tires..

I hope I can get one of those sunroof to put on my Ka, so the car can defend itself from scratching cats..
