Saw this Mitsubishi ad today and thought why would they bother showing a board and kite bag been put into the back. Has absolutely nothing to do with the ad which has the tag line "sooo good looking" and doesn't even show any kiting which would be the only interesting thing about the ad (including the lipstick chick). Are they purely directing the marketing at kiters as the general population would know nothing about the gear. Anyway anyone bought or because of the kite gear shown.

I purchased one on the basis that the person in the add kitesurfed. Then I took it to the Bombing range north of Lanno and thought.... You idiot.

As you can imagine dogs have a hard time driving so you can picture the frustration. Texting is hard enought. Woof

My missus finds how irate that advert makes me hilarious

Blatant attempt to make a dull car cool by association. When has any kitesurfer ever packed their gear into a car and decided Togo for a drive into the city to look at their cars reflection - somewhere there is an advertising executive getting paid for this bs!!

I hired one the other week in QLD and it was a slow boring nothing car. It wasnt a 4WD just a big slow shopping trolley.

Aparently kiting is the new golf, www.maitaiglobal.org, probably the thinking behind it.
