Subaru Gets Punny with ‘Peel Out’ Impreza Ad

magazine_people.jpg

We’re glad Subaru never tries to depict its Impreza as a super-sexy or even very fast car, because the only thing it really has going for it is its intellect. It’s like that well-read but ugly girl in grade school.

Thus leveraging its best quality, this new ad for the Subaru Impreza has been cleverly titled “Peel Out.” And instead of showing self-gratifying cuts of a Subaru burning precious tire across concrete (we actually can’t even imagine that), it shows a Subaru jumping through pages of magazines after some drivers magically “peel out” of one.

There’s probably more to it than that because the pressie was really long and gushy, but then we thought, if we need reading material to “get” a commercial, what the hell’s the point?
