Clever use of the toaster. I'd still take an xB over it.

Now that was funny as hell. Definitely loved that commercial. But yeah, I'll stick to my xB for sure. I'll definitely go for "THAT".

I couldn't stop facepalming during that entire video.

It is a lot nicer than the xB though, and it's cheaper.

The xB2 is not part of "that." It's far from it.

Kia's agency is a good one. David & Goliath in LA (http://dng.com).

Unfortunately, it will sell to the new crowd that Scion sold to some 6 years ago. Toyota really flopped in a segment it expanded.

The Cube might play to the old Scion crowd, but Kia is targeting the segment well.

No thanks on a Kia at any cost for me.

As for the spot itself, ah is all I can say. It is all borrowed interest. Hamster, ha, ha, duh. Previous spots included Yo Gabba Gabba. Not exactly a huge statement about the car.

"Hey look here, now that we have your attention we got a KIA, ain't it cool...?"

Awesome commercial but I too prefer the xB over that, but I prefer my tC over the xB lol.

This commercial is cool, the soul looks nice in video but have you actually seen one in person? The only one that's worth rocking is the sport version, checked them out awhile back, other than that they look like crap.

That commercial was hysterical, yet I would never set foot in one of those things.

ps John, that was one retarded comment. (not even worth quoting) "."

When the soul(less) came out, I wasn't impressed. I still feel the same. I'd rather have a bone stock xB over a modded out kia.

The commercial is funny as hell though.

I want a commercial where the Deviant pops out of an XD and starts to eat hamsters! That will be win, but yes I love that commercial.

Wonder how many Souls it took before they got a reliable one to film the commercial with

Come on man, the Xb 2 is bigger, bigger engine and there are way more, and better options with the Xb 2 versus the Soul and the Cube, and to me both are stupid looking. the commercial is funny, but again, it is just a KIA.
